WHAT DID WE FIND? We collected both live biofilm materials, from which cyanobacteria and microalgae were isolated and brought into culture, and frozen biofilm samples, both of which are being used for an in-depth characterization based on DNA molecules using so-called next generation sequencing methods (i.e. methods which “read” the composition of the DNA molecules). While to-date the analyses are still in full progress, preliminary results have uncovered a high microbial diversity in the Greenland lakes, in particular in some groups of silicashelled microalgae or diatoms. Interestingly, the observed species are different from those in similar habitats in Antarctica, suggesting different evolutionary pathways for biofilm community development in each Polar Region.

Microbial biodiversity in polar lake ecosystems: why is it different at the North and South Pole?
