Effects of diesel and lubricant oils on Antarctic benthic microbial communities over five years. Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2010 (Ref: 14227)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A 5 yr field experiment was carried out comparing the effects of Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel, synthetic lubricant (Mobil 0W40), used synthetic lubricant (used Mobil 0W40) and a biodegradable lubricant (Titan GT1) on Antarctic benthic microbial communities.

Microbial community dynamics in oil contaminated Antarctic sediments Australian Society for Microbiology Annual Scientific Meeting. Perth, July 2009. Plenary Presentation., 2009 (Ref: 14139)
Category 3: Abstract

In 2001 a unique field experiment was established to compare the longevity and effects of four different oils on the Antarctic benthic ecosystem. Clean sediment was collected, spiked with one of the oils: Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel, synthetic lubricant (Mobil 0W-40)…

Effects of incubation temperature on growth and production of exopolysaccharides by an Antarctic sea ice bacterium grown in batch culture Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2005 (Ref: 13520)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The sea ice microbial community plays a key role in the productivity of the Southern Ocean. Exopolysaccharide … (EPS) is a major component of the exopolymer secreted by many marine bacteria to enhance survival … and is abundant in sea ice brine channels, but little is known about its function there.

Bacterial exopolysaccharides from extreme marine environments with special consideration of the Southern Ocean, sea ice and hydrothermal vents: A review Marine Biotechnology, 2005 (Ref: 13518)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are high molecular weight … carbohydrate polymers that make up a substantial … component of the extracellular polymers surrounding … most microbial cells in the marine environment.

Production of exopolysaccharides by Antarctic marine bacterial isolates Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2004 (Ref: 13517)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Aims: This study was undertaken to examine and characterize Antarctic marine bacterial isolates and the … exopolysaccharides (EPS) they produce in laboratory culture. Methods and Results:

Chemical characterization of exopolysaccharides from Antarctic marine bacteria Microbial Ecology, 2005 (Ref: 13516)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) may have an important role in … the Antarctic marine environment, possibly acting as ligands … for trace metal nutrients such as iron or providing … cryoprotection for growth at low temperature and high … salinity. Ten bacterial strains…

Hydrocarbon contamination and remediation of Antarctic ecosystems Australian Society for Microbiology Annual Scientific Meeting, Adelaide, 9-13 July 2007, 2007 (Ref: 13060)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Australia’s Antarctic territory contains several hydrocarbon-contaminated sites of varying size and severity as a result of fifty years of human activities in the region. Contaminated site remediation in Antarctica is more challenging than in Australia.

Using real-time PCR to assess changes in the hydrocarbon-degrading microbial community in Antarctic soil during bioremediation. Microbial Ecology, 2006 (Ref: 12765)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to … quantify the proportion of microorganisms containing … alkane monooxygenase was developed and used to follow … changes in the microbial community in hydrocarboncontaminated … Antarctic soil during a bioremediation field … trial.

Degradation of nonane by bacteria from Antarctic marine sediment. Polar Biology, 2004 (Ref: 12322)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract A microbial enrichment culture tolerant of … petroleum hydrocarbons was developed from sediment … collected near Casey Station, Antarctica. To select coldadapted … microbes that would degrade diesel, enrichments … were cultured at 0°C during six successive … transfers to fresh medium…

A comparison of the short term effects of diesel fuel and lubricant oils on Antarctic benthic microbial communities. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2005 (Ref: 12091)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The effects of diesel fuel and three lubricating oils on microbial communities in marine sediment were investigated in a field experiment at Casey Station, Antarctica. Sediment from a pristine site in Antarctica was treated with either Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel, a synthetic lubricant…

East Antarctic ice shelves: Status quo or decline? Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12498)
Category 3: Poster

The collapse of the Larsen A and B and other ice shelves fringing the Antarctic Peninsula … coastline raises questions about the status of ice shelves in other parts of the continent. Are … the large ice shelves along the East Antarctic coast also in danger of permanent collapse…
