Microbial diversity in ikaite tufa columns: an alkaline, cold ecological niche in Greenland.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Aug 2002

Stougaard Peter, Jørgensen Flemming, Johnsen Mads G, Hansen Ole C

Abstract excerpt

Ikaite tufa columns from the Ikka Fjord in south-western Greenland constitute a natural, stable environment at low temperature and with a pH ranging from neutral at the exterior to very alkaline (pH 10.4) at the interior of the column. Phylogenetic analysis of culturable organisms revealed ten different isolates representing three of the major bacterial divisions. Nine of the isolates showed 94-99% similarity to...
