Ss. Abyzov et al., GLACIOLOGICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL DESCRIP TION OF ICE CORE IN CENTRALANTARCTICA, Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (5), 1995, pp. 530-537
Search for microorganisms kept for a long time in anabiosis at a const
ant temperature below zero is of great interest. Nevertheless, the ice
core in the Central Antarctica has been neglected by microbiologists
for long. Here we present the results of complex glaciological and mic
robiological investigation of the ice core in the region of the Russia
n Antarctic Station Vostok.
