Many microbial inhabitants (algae, fungi, cyanobacteria, heterotrophic bacteria) of the Ross Desert have been isolated in culture for use in experimental laboratory studies. These cultures are maintained in the Culture Collection of Microorganisms from Extreme Environments. The nanoclimate (the climate in the millimeter range, the environment of microorganisms) was continuously monitored for six years by automated satellite-mediated weather stations. 3, record 3, English, - nanoclimate
