Alkaline saline lakes: A chemical evolution experiment evaluating the stability of formaldehyde in an aqueous saline environment [PDF]
Formaldehyde condensation in the presence of a mineral catalyst and under alkaline conditions is considered to be a ''messy'' chemical system due to its dependence on the complex chemical equilibrium between the reaction intermediates, which has a ...

Deposition, burial and sequestration of carbon in an oligotrophic, tropical lake
The amount of biogenic carbon that may be deposited, buried and eventually preserved (sequestered) in the sediments of a tropical, oligotrophic lake, was evaluated based on i) the temporal variation of the particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration ...

Inter-annual ciliate distribution variation within the late stratification oxycline in a monomictic lake, Lake Alchichica (Mexico) [PDF]
noxia, and ciliates might play a very important role in the plankton community budget there. We analysed changes in the composition and biomass of the ciliate assemblage and other microbial loop components throughout the oxycline just at the end of ...

16S rDNA-based analysis reveals cosmopolitan occurrence but limited diversity of two cyanobacterial lineages with contrasted patterns of intracellular carbonate mineralization [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are mainly thought to induce carbonate precipitation extracellularly via their photosynthetic activity combined with the nucleation potential of exopolymeric substances. The discovery in microbialites of the alkaline lake Alchichica (Mexico)

Hydrogeochemistry of salinas Zapotitlan and the crater-lakes Alchichica and Atexcac, Puebla [Hidrogeoqu�mica de salinas Zapotitl�n y los lagos-cr�ter alchichica y Atexcac, Puebla] [PDF]
In this study we carried on the experimental evaporation of brines from two saline crater-lakes: Alchichica and Atexcac, in the Basin of the Oriental, Puebla, and from a saline spring, Salinas Chiquitas, Zapotitl n, Puebla, thus documenting patterns of ...

Metagenome-based diversity analyses suggest a significant contribution of non-cyanobacterial lineages to carbonate precipitation in modern microbialites [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are thought to play a key role in carbonate formation due to their metabolic activity, but other organisms carrying out oxygenic photosynthesis (photosynthetic eukaryotes) or other metabolisms (e.g.
