Subsurface ice as a microbial habitat

We determine the physicochemical habitat for microorganisms in subsurface terrestrial ice by quantitatively constraining the partitioning of bacteria and fluorescent beads (1-10 mu m) between the solid ice crystals and the water-filled veins and boundaries around individual ice crystals. We demonstr...
