Depth-specific distribution of bacterial MAGs in permafrost active layer in Ny Ålesund, Svalbard (79°N).

Arctic soil microbial communities may shift with increasing temperatures and water availability from climate change. We examined temperature and volumetric liquid water content (VWC) in the upper 80 cm of permafrost-affected soil over 2 years (2018-2019) at the Bayelva monitoring station, Ny Ålesund, Svalbard. We show VWC increases with depth, whereas in situ temperature is more stable vertically, ranging from -5°C to 5 °C seasonally.

Comparative analysis of prokaryotic microbiomes in high-altitude active layer soils: insights from Ladakh and global analogues using In-Silico approaches.

The active layer is the portion of soil overlaying the permafrost that freezes and thaws seasonally. It is a harsh habitat in which a varied and vigorous microbial population thrives. The high-altitude active layer soil in northern India is a unique and important cryo-ecosystem.

Draft genome sequence of sp. from whole cantaloupe, with inhibition capacity against .

We report the draft genome sequence of a novel species, sp., isolated from a freshly harvested and untreated cantaloupe in North Carolina. The strain wild type exhibited inhibitory activity against the foodborne pathogen , including strains of diverse serotypes and genotypes, both on agar media and in biofilms.

Microbial life in 25-m-deep boreholes in ancient permafrost illuminated by metagenomics.

This study describes the composition and potential metabolic adaptation of microbial communities in northeastern Siberia, a repository of the oldest permafrost in the Northern Hemisphere. Samples of contrasting depth (1.75 to 25.

Permafrost in the Cretaceous supergreenhouse.

Earth's climate during the last 4.6 billion years has changed repeatedly between cold (icehouse) and warm (greenhouse) conditions. The hottest conditions (supergreenhouse) are widely assumed to have lacked an active cryosphere.
