Abstract
Experiments simulating the sea ice cycle were conducted by exposing microbes from Antarctic fast ice to
saline and irradiance regimens associated with the freeze-thaw process. In contrast to hypersaline conditions
(ice formation), the simulated release of bacteria into hyposaline seawater combined with rapid exposure to
increased UV-B radiation significantly reduced metabolic activity.
