Polar Microbiology

The Ecology, Biodiversity and Bioremediation Potential of Microorganisms in Extremely Cold Environments

About this book

Pollution has accompanied polar exploration since Captain John Davis' arrival on the Antarctic continent in 1821 and has become an unavoidable consequence of oil spills in our polar regions. Fortunately, many of the organisms indigenous to Polar ecosystems have the ability to degrade pollutants. It is this metabolic capacity that forms the basis fo
