Benthic O2 availability regulates many important biogeochemical processes and has crucial
implications for the biology and ecology of benthic communities. Further, the benthic O2 …

Sediment and water can potentially be altered, chemically, physically and biologically as
they are sampled at the seafloor, brought to the surface, processed and analysed. As a …

The metabolic activities of microbial mats have likely regulated biogeochemical cycling over
most of Earth's history. However, the relationship between metabolic activity and the …

The effects of phosphorus enrichment and grazing snails on a benthic microbial community
that builds stromatolic oncolites were examined in an experiment at Rio Mesquites, Cuatro …

Fiber‐optic microprobes connected to sensitive light meters are ideal tools to resolve the
steep gradients of light intensity and spectral composition that prevail in aggregates and …

Microorganisms that colonize surfaces, biofilms, are of significant importance due to their
role in medical infections, subsurface contaminant remediation, and industrial processing …

The potential of biofilm-based photobioreactors (PBRs) for various applications has long
been recognized, and various types of biofilm-based PBRs have been developed for …

The multiple sulfur isotope composition of porewater sulfate from the anoxic marine sapropel
of Mangrove Lake, Bermuda was measured in order to establish how multiple sulfur …

In recent years, new imaging methods for mapping microhabitats, solute concentrations,
microbial activity and photopigment content have been developed and increasingly applied …

Diffusive mass transfer in biofilms is characterized by the effective diffusion coefficient. It is
well documented that the effective diffusion coefficient can vary by location in a biofilm. The …
