Freezing Tolerance of Thermophilic Bacterial Endospores in Marine Sediments

Freezing Tolerance of Thermophilic Bacterial Endospores in Marine Sediments

Dormant endospores of anaerobic, thermophilic bacteria found in cold marine sediments offer a useful model for studying microbial biogeography, dispersal, and survival. The dormant endospore phenotype confers resistance to unfavorable environmental conditions, allowing dispersal to be isolated and s...
