Cryptoendolith colonization of diverse substrates (1): cultivation and characterization

We are investigating whether cryptoendolithic microorganisms are able to colonize diverse substrates through biogenic weathering. This first part of the study involves the cultivation and characterization of microbial consortia from Antarctic sandstone habitats.
