| Abstract | We describe a cryptoendolithic community from a light, coarse grained calcite marble found on Nussbaum Riegel in the central Taylor Valley, Dry Valleys. The community lives 3-4 (5) mm underneath the rock surface and is by the unicellular genus Chroococcidiopsis (C. cf. thermalis). (mod. journ. abst.) |
