Spirochetes and salt marsh microbial mat geochemistry: Implications for the fossil record

Spirochetes and salt marsh microbial mat geochemistry: Implications for the fossil record

Microbial mats are synergistic microbial consortia through which major elements, including sulfur, are cycled due to microbial and geological processes. Depth profiles of pH, O2, sulfide, exopolymeric substances (EPS), and the rate of sulfate reduction were determined in an Oscillatoria sp. and Micr...
