A wide array of microorganisms, including many novel, phylogenetically deeply rooted taxa,
survive and thrive in extreme environments. These unique and reduced-complexity …

Microorganisms play pivotal roles in sha** ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. Their
intricate interactions involve complex biochemical processes. Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT …

The Earth's cryosphere comprises those regions that are cold enough for water to turn into
ice. Recent findings show that the icy realms of polar oceans, glaciers and ice sheets are …

The Arctic is melting at an unprecedented rate and key drivers are changes in snow and ice
albedo. Here we show that red snow, a common algal habitat blooming after the onset of …

Microorganisms in cold ecosystems play a key ecological role in their natural habitats. Since
these ecosystems are especially sensitive to climate changes, as indicated by the worldwide …

Cryoconite is granular sediment found on glacier surfaces comprising both mineral and
biological material. Despite long having been recognised as an important glaciological and …

Glacier ecosystems are teeming with life on, beneath, and to a lesser degree, within their icy
masses. This conclusion largely stems from polar research, with less attention paid to …

The present study aimed to characterize and investigate the polysaccharide fractions of
mulberry fruit, and their antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities. Mulberry fruit …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from alpine glaciers is highly biolabile and plays a vital role
in the biogeochemical cycle of meltwater-impacted environments. To unravel the …

Microorganisms often respond to their environment by growing as densely packed
communities in biofilms, flocs or granules. One major advantage of life in these aggregates …
