Studies of Soil Microorganisms, Inuvik, Northwest Territories
A study of soil microorganisms of the Inuvik area (68°21'N, 133°40'W) was carried out during the summer of 1964. In almost all samples taken, psychrophilic, mesophilic, and especially thermophilic bacteria were found in greater numbers than in samples obtained from northern and southwester...
