Increased temperatures alter viable microbial biomass, ammonia oxidizing bacteria and extracellular enzymatic activities in Antarctic soils

Barnard, Sebastian; Van Goethem, Marc W.; De Scally, S.Z. (Storme); Cowan, Don A.; Jansen van Rensburg, Peet; Claassens, Sarina; Makhalanyane, Thulani Peter (Oxford University Press, 2020-04)

The effects of temperature on microorganisms in high latitude regions, and their possible feedbacks in response to change, are unclear. Here, we assess microbial functionality and composition in response to a substantial ...
A reservoir of ‘historical’ antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils

Van Goethem, Marc W.; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Van de Peer, Yves; Cowan, Don A.; Makhalanyane, Thulani Peter (BioMed Central, 2018-02-23)

BACKGROUND : Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Surveys of ...
