Applicability of cryoconite consortia of microorganisms and glacier-dwelling animals in astrobiological studies
For several years it has been of interest to astrobiologists to focus on Earth’s glaciers as a habitat that can be similar to glaciers on other moons and planets. Microorganisms on glaciers form consortia – cryoconite granules (cryoconites). They are granular/spherical mineral particles connected wi...
