Summary
Abstract: Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 2899
See the link below for public details on this project.

We conducted a genomic analysis of Archaea and Bacteria collected from lakes in the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica. This provided a new level of understanding about the life forms inhabiting these cold lakes. Linked to knowledge of meteorological, geological, chemical and physical data that has been ...

FIELD SURVEYS Ancillary Description
Quality The data from Ace Lake were collected using a YSI Sonde 6600 Multifunction Probe the 20th of December, 2006.

Biomass collection was collected between December 20-25. In addition to Ace Lake, surface water samples from Organic and Deep lakes for filtering were also collected. The biomass samples were collected using a Millipore Filter System with three 293mm Filter Disk Holders with ... View entire text
