Microbial mat compositions and localization patterns explain the virulence of black band disease in corals [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2023
Black band disease (BBD) in corals is characterized by a distinctive, band-like microbial mat, which spreads across the tissues and often kills infected colonies.

Diversity of an uncommon elastic hypersaline microbial mat along a small-scale transect [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
We evaluated the microbial diversity and metabolome profile of an uncommon hypersaline elastic microbial mat from Cuatro Ciénegas Basin (CCB) in the Chihuahuan Desert of Coahuila, México.

Metabarcoding reveals unique microbial mat communities and evidence of biogeographic influence in low‐oxygen, high‐sulfur sinkholes and springs [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
High‐sulfur, low‐oxygen environments formed by underwater sinkholes and springs create unique habitats populated by microbial mat communities. To explore the diversity and biogeography of these mats, samples were collected from three sites in Alpena ...

Sulphur cycling in a Neoarchaean microbial mat. [PDF]

Geobiology, 2017
AbstractMultiple sulphur (S) isotope ratios are powerful proxies to understand the complexity of S biogeochemical cycling through Deep Time. The disappearance of a sulphur mass‐independent fractionation (S‐MIF) signal in rocks <~2.4 Ga has been used to date a dramatic rise in atmospheric oxygen levels.

Seasonal development of a coastal microbial mat. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractGrowth and activity of coastal microbial mats is strongly seasonal. The development of these mats starts in early spring and fully maturate during late summer, where after growth ceases and subsequently the mat deteriorates by erosion and decomposition in winter.

Biodiversity of the microbial mat of the Garga hot spring [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background Microbial mats are a good model system for ecological and evolutionary analysis of microbial communities. There are more than 20 alkaline hot springs on the banks of the Barguzin river inflows. Water temperature reaches 75 °C and pH is usually

Nitrification and Nitrifying Bacteria in a Coastal Microbial Mat. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2015
The first step of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, can be performed by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) or ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). We investigated the presence of these two groups in three structurally different types of coastal microbial mats that develop along the tidal gradient on the North Sea beach of the Dutch barrier

Sterol preservation in hypersaline microbial mats [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2020
Microbial mats are self-sustaining benthic ecosystems composed of highly diverse microbial communities. It has been proposed that microbial mats were widespread in Proterozoic marine environments, prior to the emergence of bioturbating organisms at the ...
