Potential sources of bacteria colonizing the cryoconite of an Alpine glacier.

Potential sources of bacteria colonizing the cryoconite of an Alpine glacier.

We investigated the potential contribution of ice-marginal environments to the microbial communities of cryoconite holes, small depressions filled with meltwater that form on the surface of Forni Glacier (Italian Alps). Cryoconite holes are considered the most biologically active environments on gla...
