Diatoms composing benthic microbial mats in Skarvsnes lakes, East Antarctica, were studied in terms of their taxonomy and relationship to environmental factors. Samples were collected from 13 freshwater lakes in the area. Amphora sp. (cf. veneta) was dominant in 11 of the 13 samples, while Craticula...
