Coastal areas of the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) constitute a rich and biodiverse marine zone. Despite these ecosystems being supported by the microorganism’s activity, the structure of microbial communities is insufficiently studied. As WAP is the area most affected by global warming worldwide,...
