| Abstract |
Kakabekia barghoorniana Siegel, living species of a fossil genus Kakabekia, has now been cultured from Alaskan soil samples obtained from the Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau and from the Point Barrow region above the Arctic Circle. Morphological comparisons, especially of mantle variations, show that fossil and living populations overlap in many details. Cytochemical tests demonstrate that living Kakabekia has no storage forms of lipid or polysaccharide and no phenoloxidase. Some individuals (19-33%) contain heme enzymes but most do not; hence they cannot utilize O(2) even in air. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 January 2018.
All research outputs
#3,265,240
of 24,625,114 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#34,433
of 101,438 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#114
of 3,050 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#4
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,625,114 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 101,438 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 38.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 3,050 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
