Modern Freshwater Microbialites of Cuatro Ciénegas, Mexico. I: Metagenomic and Stable Isotopic Analyses to Assess Microbial Community Structure and Function
Abstract
This study utilized metagenomic and stable isotopic analyses to examine the microorganisms and chemical processes leading to carbonate precipitation in the actively-accreting freshwater microbialites from Rio Mesquites in Cuatro Ciénegas, Mexico.
