Cyanobacterial mats profoundly influenced Earth's biological and geochemical evolution
and still play important ecological roles in the modern world. However, the biogeochemical …

Cyanobacteria are renowned as the mediators of Earth's oxygenation. However, little is
known about the cyanobacterial communities that flourished under the low‐O2 conditions …

Cyanobacterial mats are widely assumed to have been globally significant hot spots of
biogeochemistry and evolution during the Archean and Proterozoic, but little is known about …

Phototrophic mat communities are model ecosystems for studying energy cycling and
elemental transformations because complete biogeochemical cycles occur over millimeter …

Photosynthetic microbial mats possess extraordinary phylogenetic and functional diversity
that makes linking specific pathways with individual microbial populations a daunting task …

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

Recently discovered submerged sinkholes in Lake Huron are high-sulfur, low-oxygen
extreme environments for microbial life. In order to understand the relationship between the …

Lack of robustness is a major barrier to foster a sustainable cyanobacterial biotechnology.
Use of cyanobacterial consortium increases biodiversity, which provides functional …

Cyanobacterial–bacterial consortial associations are taxonomically complex, metabolically
interactive, self‐sustaining prokaryotic communities representing pioneer and often the only …

Modern microbial mats are potential analogues of some of Earth's earliest ecosystems.
Excellent examples can be found in Shark Bay, Australia, with mats of various morphologies …
