Under climate change, both the global water cycle (evaporation minus precipitation) and mixed layer salinity exhibit a pattern amplification characterized by the "rich get richer and poor get poorer." However…
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are a key component of the Antarctic food web with considerable lipid reserves that are vital for their health and higher predator survival. Krill lipids are primarily derived from their diet of plankton, in particular diatoms and flagellates.
Multiple datasets show the Antarctic Ice Sheet has lost mass over recent decades and therefore contributed to sea-level rise. Short-term variability in ice mass has been associated partly with El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), for both the grounded ice sheet and its bounding ice shelves…
Krill are thought to be predominantly herbivorous, but a heterotrophic diet might be crucial for … their growth and survival. To compare the influence of herbivory and carnivory on krill we conducted a nine … month feeding trial. We examined lipid composition of the hepatopancreas…
The effects of ultra-violet radiation (UVR) stress on the growth, biochemical … composition and fatty acid profiles of four Antarctic microalgae from the University of Malaya Algae … Culture Collection (UMACC) were investigated. The microalgae studied were Chlamydomonas UMACC … 229…
As part of a general survey of the biodiversity and inherent ecophysiology of bacteria associated with coastal Antarctic sea-ice diatom assemblages, eight strains were identified by 16S rRNA sequence analysis as belonging to the genus Colwellia. The isolates were non-pigmented…
A group of sea-ice-derived psychrophilic bacterial strains possessing the unusual ability to synthesize the polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5w3) and arachidonic acid (20:4w6) belong to the Family Flavobacteriaceae (Flexibacter–Bacteroides–Flavobacterium phylum)…
