Description / Table of Contents:
[...] This thesis that is integrated within the scope of international research activities aimed for investigating the microbial diversity and activity of Arctic and Antarctic terrestrial habitats. To approach this, both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods were applied. The particular objectives of this work were to study the diversity of the dominant bacterial groups from soils of Livingston Island (maritime Antarctic) , to identify possible influences of different soil parameters on these bacterial communities, and to undergo isolation, cultivation and phylogenetic characterization of heterotrophic bacteria from soils of Northeast Greenland. Furthermore, three bacterial isolates from Livingston Island (maritime Antarctic) and one bacterial isolate from Northeast Greenland were analyzed biochemically and physiologically more in detail.
Description / Table of Contents:
The main part of the thesis comprises four manuscripts with the first authorship and one manuscript of co-authorship and a final synthesis including the conclusions as well as methodological comments and future prospects.
