Analysis of the sulfate-reducing bacterial and methanogenic archaeal populations in contrasting Antarctic sediments

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on sulfate-reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea communities. The authors describe their study of activity and distribution of these communities in contrasting Antarctic sediments carried out via the use of traditional process methods, molecular techniques and sediment slurry microcosms.
