| In: | Earth's Cryosphere. (2003.), Special issue (2003) |
| Abstract: | Reports examination of around 2000 frozen samples from Late Caenozoic permafrost of Yamal in north-east Siberia, Alaska, Canadian Arctic and Antarctic. Estimates state and viability of permafrost microorganisms using kinetics of colony formation on nutrient media. Notes microbial abundances in frozen and unfrozen sediments comparable. Regards permanently low temperature as stabilizing factor sustaining life in deep cold biotopes, with level and duration of negative temperatures governing ratio of hypometabolic cells, readily reversible to proliferation, to deeply resting cells (viable, but non-culturable). Concludes biosphere boundary beneath cryosphere depends on temperature of cell destruction and occurs at great depths. |
