Photoautotrophic Euendoliths and Their Complex Ecological Effects in Marine Bioengineered Ecosystems

Photoautotrophic euendolithic microorganisms are ubiquitous where there are calcium carbonate substrates to bore into and sufficient light to sustain photosynthesis. The most diverse and abundant modern euendolithic communities can be found in the marine environment. Euendoliths, as microorganisms i...
