    Inner workings of thrombolites: spatial gradients of metabolic activity as revealed by metatranscriptome profiling

    Microbialites are sedimentary deposits formed by the metabolic interactions of microbes and their environment. These lithifying microbial communities represent one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth, yet the mo...

    The role of microbes in accretion, lamination and early lithification of modern marine stromatolites

    For three billion years, before the Cambrian diversification of life, laminated carbonate build-ups called stromatolites were widespread in shallow marine seas1,2. These ancient structures are generally thought t...

    Ecological controls on stromatolite development in a modern reef environment: A test of the ecological refuge paradigm

    Paleontological and neontological studies suggest that stromatolite development may be limited to environments where ecological processes such as colonization (recruitment), growth, competition, and predation ...

    Ecophysiology of stromatolitic microbial mats, Stocking Island, exuma cays, Bahamas

    Intertidal stromatolites, covered by cyanobacterial mats, were recently discovered at Stocking Island, Exuma Cays, Bahamas. Ecophysiological responses (CO2 fixation, N2 fixation, and photoacclimation) of these cy...
