Abstract

A bacterial and microeukaryotic biodiversity study, using pyrosequencing analysis on a 454 GS FLX+ platform
of partial SSU rRNA genes in terrestrial and aquatic habitats of the Sør Rondane Mountains, including soils, on mosses, endolithic communities, cryoconite holes and supraglacial and subglacial meltwater lenses.

Project title: ANTAR-IMPACT, BELDIVA
Personnel: Dagmar Obbels, Elie Verleyen, Wim Vyverman, Anne Willems, Annick Wilmotte
Funding: This work was supported by the Belgian Federal Science Pol- icy (BelSPO) projects ANTAR-IMPACT (Inventory and evaluation of the environmental impact of the Antarctic research station ‘Princes Elizabeth’) [SD/BA/853], BELDIVA (Belgian Microbial diversity project in Antarctica) [EA/XX/05] and CCAMBIO (Climate Change Antarctic Microbial Biodiversity) [SD/BA/03] and Special Research Fund BOF-UGent [grant 0J28410]. The InBev-Baillet La- tour Fund provided additional funding for  eld work through the DELAQUA (Deglaciation, ice-sheet thickness and climate change in Dronning Maud Land during the late Quaternary) project. DO was funded by the Institute for Science and Technology in Flan- ders, M-JM and ZN were funded by the FRIA (Fonds pour la for- mation a` la Recherche dans l’Industrie et dans l’Agriculture) and FRS-FNRS (Fund for Scienti c Research) [FRFC 2.4570.09], re- spectively. Annick Wilmotte is Research Associate of the FRS- FNRS.
