Smothering of microbial mats by macrobiota: implications for the Ediacara biota by McIlroy, D, Brasier, M, Lang, A

“…This experimental study explores the preservational effects brought about by the passive movement of dead macro-organisms upon a pre-established marine microbial mat under laboratory conditions. This demonstrates the potential for making multiple impressions of body tissues on the surface of microbial mats by means of passive transport alone. …”

Plant Tissue Decay in Long-Term Experiments with Microbial Mats by Miguel Iniesto, Candela Blanco-Moreno, Aurora Villalba, Ángela D. Buscalioni, M. Carmen Guerrero, Ana Isabel López-Archilla

“…Taphonomic alterations in the sediment⁻water interface (control tanks) and in subaqueous conditions with microbial mats were compared. The decay sequences were similar in control and mat tanks; in both cases, pinnules preserved the shape throughout the four-month experience. …”

Microsensor Measurements of Hydrogen Gas Dynamics in Cyanobacterial Microbial Mats by Michael eNielsen, Niels Peter eRevsbech, Michael eKühl

“…Our data give detailed insights into the microscale distribution and dynamics of H2 in cyanobacterial biofilms and mats, and further support that cyanobacterial H2 production can play a significant role in fueling anaerobic processes like e.g. sulfate reduction or anoxygenic photosynthesis in microbial mats.…”

Heterotrophic Protists in Hypersaline Microbial Mats and Deep Hypersaline Basin Water Columns by Joan M. Bernhard, Virginia P. Edgcomb

“…This contribution presents brief reviews of our current knowledge on eukaryotes of water-column haloclines and brines from Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins (DHABs) of the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as shallow-water hypersaline microbial mats in solar salterns of Guerrero Negro, Mexico and benthic microbialite communities from Hamelin Pool, Shark Bay, Western Australia. …”

Community structure of thermophilic photosynthetic microbial mats and flocs at Sembawang Hot Spring, Singapore by Christaline George, Chloe Xue Qi Lim, Yan Tong, Stephen Brian Pointing, Stephen Brian Pointing

“…A small main pool at the source supported orange-green benthic flocs, whereas the outflow channel with gradually less extreme environmental stress supported extensive vivid green microbial mats. Microscopy revealed that cyanobacterial morphotypes were distinct in flocs and mats at several intervals along the environmental gradient, and we describe a spiraling pattern in the oscillatorian cyanobacteria that may reflect response to poly-extreme stress. …”
