ABSTRACT The leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) is a genetically low-studied species. In order to conduct the first genetic diversity assessment of this species in Danco Coast (Antarctic Peninsula), 423 bp of the mitochondrial DNA Control Region (mtDNA-CR) was sequenced from 13 blood samples collected in Primavera Base (62º15’S, 58º39’W) during the 2011-2012 austral summer. Our results showed high haplotype diversity (h = 0.99), with various divergent haplotypes. Our findings suggest that leopard seals in the Danco Coast could represent different phylogroups; however, including more genetic markers are needed to confirm this hypothesis. |

Microorganisms dominate most of Antarctic ecosystem and play a crucial role in its functioning. They are called extremophilic microorganisms with unique and versatile metabolic properties with possible biotechnological applications in several areas. The aim of the present study was to taxonomically characterize psychrophilic microorganisms from Antarctic continent samples and to screen them for antimicrobial effects. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that most isolates shared 98?100 % sequence similarity to recognized species, including those recovered previously from the Antarctica environment, which belong to the major phyla Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria (classes Alpha and Gammaproteobacteria). A total of 361 bacteria strains,... |
