Scientists compile an inventory of endangered microorganisms in cryospheric ecosystems

Cryospheric ecosystems are some of the oldest on the planet. EPFL scientists have found that the microorganisms living in them have a unique genetic signature. They performed an inventory of the microorganisms in these ecosystems and complied the information into a database, which will be a useful resource for future studies on climate change microbiology.Cryospheric ecosystems are some of the oldest on the planet.
