Coastal ecosystems play significant ecological and economic roles but are threatened and
facing decline. Microbes drive various biogeochemical processes in coastal ecosystems …

In the search for biosignatures on Mars, there is an abundance of data from orbiters and
rovers to characterize global and regional habitability, but much less information is available …

Coastal ecosystems experience some of the most active land–ocean interactions in the
world, and they are characterized by high primary productivity and biological diversity in the …

The reflectance spectroscopic characteristics of cyanobacteria-dominated microbial mats in
the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) were measured using a hyperspectral point spectrometer …

Seasonal changes in light and physicochemical conditions have strong impacts on
cyanobacteria, but how they affect community structure, metabolism, and biogeochemistry of …

The Arabian Gulf is exposed to intensive dust storms during summer until early winter. We
investigated the nutritive effect of the dust on microbial biodiversity of the water column and …

Purpose Contaminated sites from man-made activities such as old-fashioned tanneries are
inhabited by virulent microorganisms that exhibit more resistance against extreme and toxic …

Desiccated cyanobacterial mats are the dominant biological feature in the Earth's arid
zones. While the response of desiccated cyanobacteria to rehydration is well-documented …

Microbial mats are complex biofilms in which the major element cycles are represented at a
millimeter scale. In this study, community variability within microbial mats from the Camargue …

Interactions between autotrophs and heterotrophs are central to carbon (C) exchange
across trophic levels in essentially all ecosystems and metabolite exchange is a frequent …
