29. We thank the Maritime Technology Unit (CSIC) and Las Palmas crew (Spanish Navy) for the logistic help and support that made this expedition possible. We also thank M. Toro, A. Camacho, and other members of the Limnopolar Project for help and discussions; A. Alejo for helpful comments and reviewing the manuscript; and M. Pignatelli for technical support. This work was funded by grants from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (CGL2005-06549-C02- 01/ANT, CGL200729843-E/ANT, CTM2008-05134-E/ANT, and BFU200804501-E). Spring and summer viral metagenomes from the Antarctic Lake Limnopolar have been submitted to GenBank and assigned the genome project accession number 34669. The rnetagenomes are also publicly accessible from the ftp server of the SEED public database (ftp://ftp.theseed.org/metagenomes) under the project accession numbers 4441778.3 and 4441558.3 for the spring and summer viromes, respectively. PCR-obtained sequences encoding the gp23 protein of Antarctic T4-phages and the MCP protein of Antarctic phycodnavirus have been also deposited at GenBank as "environmental sequences" and are listed under accession numbers FJ791185-247 and FJ791175-84, respectively.
