Brief Description (Abstract):

Microbiological studies from the marine, limnetic, terrestrial and glacial ecosystems were carried out during the Ninth Indian Expedition (1989-90) to estimate the bacteria! numbers, to characterise the generic types and also to estimate the uptake of 14C glucose and glutamic acid by these heterotrophs. Bacterial communities in different habitats appeared to be having distinct ecosystem specialisation both in terms of number and activity. In the maritime Antarctic, their biomass was found to be substantially high. Vertical profiles of bacterial counts biomass decreased gradually and uniformly with increasing depth in the polynyas.

Status: Completed

Purpose: This work deals with the bacteriological studies carried out on their types, abundance and activity, during the Ninth Indian Expedition to Antarctica.
