Bacterial diversity and chemical pollutants invertigation in ice core of Campbel Glacier in Northern Victora Land in Antarctica
Introduction This study was performed on ice cores drilled in two areas of the Campbell Glacier, a glacier that ends with floating ice tongue of about 130 km of length, located in Northern Victoria Land in Antarctica. The microbiome of glacier biosphere is a reservoir of still undiscovered bacteria...
