Abstract:

The analysis of microbial contents of living materials in Fildes Peninsula,Antarctica was made by using the plating method with five basic culture media during the austral summers from 1993 to 1994. The 33 samples of the surface and inner materials of their bodies collected were marine algae,mosses,lichen,sea worm,little red clam,cap shaped shell,fish,penguin and whale. It was analyzed and compared to the contents of terrigenous. Marine,intestinal,acid fast bacteria and fungi of each category of organisms. The appropriate rise of incubation temperature promoted the multiplication of the microbes rapid and a large number at some degree. It suggests that the low temperature is still an important factor for restricting the microorganisms in Antarctica.
