The New Zealand Terrestrial Antarctic Biocomplexity Survey (nzTABS) is the largest and most comprehensive interdisciplinary landscape-scale study of terrestrial biology ever undertaken in Antarctica, incorporating fieldwork of 1500+ person days in 6 of the Dry Valleys (total area of 6500 …
Amplicon sequencing dataset (Illumina MiSeq) of Bacteria (16S); Archaea (16S) and Fungi (ITS) in soils from the Fildes region on King George Island (Antarctica).
Dataset consisting of amplicon sequencing samples (16S ssu rRNA targeting Bacteria), shotgun meta genome samples and RNA-seq samples of Paleomats at the shores of lake Vanda, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
Amplicon sequencing dataset (Illumina MiSeq) of Fungal microbes (ITS marker gene) in two distinct layers (separated by 12cm of ice) of liquid high salinity brines of one lake in the Tarmac Flat area (In the North of McMurdo Dry Valley, …
Amplicon sequencing dataset (454 pyrosequencing) of microorganisms (16S ssu rRNA gene) in sediments of the former subglacial Hodgson lake (Antarctica). Exploratory study (1 sample).
BCCM - Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms
BCCM/LMG is a bacterial culture collection currently comprising over 25.000 well-characterized strains. The biological origin of our collection is very broad, including bacterial isolates from food, clinical, veterinary, agricultural, aquatic and other environmental sources. This way, the biological resources of …
Microbial dataset containing sequenced genes (ureC gene) from Thaumarchaeota from the Beaufort Sea (Arctic) and the Amundsen Sea (Antarctica), as well as a metagenome (454 pyrosequencing) the Beaufort Sea.
amplicon dataset of Bacteria (16S ssh rRNA marker gene) found Antarctic marine sediments (Admiralty Bay and Bransfield Strait), sampled in December 2008.
Amplicon sequencing dataset (Illumina MiSeq 250bp PE) of soil bacteria (16S ssu rRNA gene, v3-v4) on King George Island and Deception Island (Antarctica)
Amplicon sequencing dataset (Bacteria and Archaea based on 16S ssu rRNA gene, Fungi and other eukaryotes, based on the ITS marker) of microorganisms in permafrost samples (two cores with three different depths) taken in University Valley, Antarctica.
Amplicon sequencing dataset (454 pyrosequencing) of Bacterial communities (based on the 16S ssu rRNA gene; using Bacteria and Cyanobacteria-specific primers), of three different strata in a laminated microbial mat sample from Lake Untersee (east Antarctica)
Amplicon sequencing dataset of microbial eukaryotes (18S ssh rRNA gene v9) in water and sea ice collected in the Ross Sea, Antarctica during the summer of 2011. Prior to sequencing, mixotroph abundances were determined using tracer ingestion.
The investigation of bacterioplankton, mat and sediment microbial communities from the Bratina Island meltwater ponds in Late November 2009, January 2012 and January 2013 and from meltwater ponds at the mouth of the Miers Valley in January 2013 using 16S …

SCAR - Microbial Antarctic Resource System
Methane emissions from aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems play a crucial role in global warming, which is particularly affecting high-latitude ecosystems. As major contributors to methane emissions in natural environments, the microbial communities involved in methane production and oxidation deserve a …
