Brief Description (Abstract):

Bacteria were isolated from the soil and water samples collected within the Schirmacher Oasis during the austral summer of 2005. Purified bacteria were analyzed by Gram-staining, light microscopy and molecular techniques. The 16S rDNA of the isolates were sequenced and analyzed using the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) to resolve the identities of the bacterial isolates. Bacteria encountered were Arthrobacter spp. A. oxydans, Bacillus spp., B. cereus, B. polyfermenticus, B. pumilus, Pseudomonas fluoresceus, P. putida, P. syringae, Nocardioides, Frigoribacterium, Rubrobacter, Rhodococcus, Flavobacterium sp., Burkholderia sp. and several unidentified strains. One isolate, Burkholderia sp. was found to produce anti-microbial compounds against tropical pathogens, Salmonella typhii and Escherichia coli O157.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The objective of this project was to analyze the bacterial population in the permanent lake of the Schirmacher Oasis. This project was carried out in collaboration with the National Centre for Antarctica and Ocean Research, India. Samples were collected from the permanent Antarctic lake water and soils within the Schirmacher Oasis for bacterial isolation and characterization. Isolated bacteria were screened for their abilities to produce anti-microbial compounds.
