Coastal Bacterial Community Response to Glacier Melting in the Western Antarctic Peninsula by Alcamán-Arias, María Estrella, Fuentes-Alburquenque, Sebastián, Vergara-Barros, Pablo, Cifuentes-Anticevic, Jerónimo, Verdugo, Josefa, Polz, Martin, Farías, Laura, Pedrós-Alió, Carlos, Díez, Beatriz

“…In this study, the effect of decreased surface salinity on the marine microbial community as a consequence of freshening from nearby glaciers was investigated in Chile Bay, Greenwich Island, WAP. In the summer of 2016, samples were collected from glacier ice and transects along the bay for 16S rRNA gene sequencing, while in situ dilution experiments were conducted and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metatranscriptomic analysis. …”
