Characterisation of microbial Mat communities in meltwater ponds of the McMurdo ice shelf, Antarctica
… presented in this thesis examined the microbial and functional diversity of the meltwater ponds Fresh, Orange and Salt Ponds on the McMurdo Ice Shelf, near Bratina Island, Antarctica. These sites were chosen because of the ecological importance and absence of detailed characterisations …

Influence of landscape-variation in geochemistry on taxonomic and functional composition of microbial mat communities in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
Microbial communities play critical roles in biogeochemical cycles of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, but studies of soil microbial communities have been limited by the diversity and complexity found in most ecosystems. Here we report on work investigating the functional diversity of microbial …

Microbial Mat Abundance and Activity in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
… can provide long-term, spatially-extensive estimates of primary production and are particularly well suited to remote environments, such as in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) of Antarctica, where cyanobacterial communities are the main drivers of primary production. These microbial communities …

Identification of Quorum Sensing Genes in Hypersaline Microbial Mats
… unexplored biological reservoirs on earth. Microbial communities carry out biochemical processes, interactively, by functioning as social units and ultimately define the overall functionality of ecosystems. Bacterial communities in all ecosystems likely utilize signaling pathways to adapt to …
