Contribution of Benthic Processes to the Growth of Ooids on a Low-Energy Shore in Cat Island, The Bahamas by Pruss, Sara B., Pruss, Sara, Summons, Roger, Newman, Sharon, Mariotti, Giulio, Summons, Roger E, Bosak, Tanja

“…Here, we investigate the role of benthic processes on ooid growth on a leeward shore of Cat Island, The Bahamas. Polished ooids are present in the surf zone, whereas dull ooids and grapestones are present in microbially colonized sediments seaward of the surf zone. …”

Using Molecular Tools to Understand Microbial Carbonates by Cutts, Elise M., Baldes, Matthew J., Skoog, Emilie J., Hall, James, Gong, Jian, Moore, Kelsey R., Bosak, Tanja

“…The review focuses on the nearly two decades of nucleotide sequencing studies of the microbialites of Shark Bay, Australia; and The Bahamas. Molecular methods have successfully characterized the overall community composition of mats, pinpointed microbes involved in key metabolisms, and revealed patterns in the distributions of microbial groups and functional genes. …”
