Polar Microalgae: New Approaches towards Understanding Adaptations to an Extreme and Changing Environment

Polar Microalgae: New Approaches towards Understanding Adaptations to an Extreme and Changing Environment

Polar Regions are unique and highly prolific ecosystems characterized by extreme environmental gradients. Photosynthetic autotrophs, the base of the food web, have had to adapt physiological mechanisms to maintain growth, reproduction and metabolic activity despite environmental conditions that woul...
