For the first time, the cyanobacterial diversity from microbial mats in lakes ofEastern Antarctica was investigated using microscopic and molecular approaches.The present study assessed the biogeographical distribution of cyanobacteria inAntarctica. Five samples were taken from four lakes spanning a...
