Microbial biodiversity in permafrost and ground ice samples and survival of High Arctic isolate Cryptococcus NP33 under simulated Martian conditions
The work in this thesis consisted of two studies: 1) analysis of the microbial biodiversity of multiple ground ice types from the Arctic and the High Arctic; 2)examination of the survival of Cryptococcus NP33 under simulated Martian conditions over 41 days. The first study involved culture-dependent...
