Microbial Mats Modern and Ancient Microorganisms in Stratified Systems /

This book provides information about microbial mats, from early fossils to modern mats located in marine and terrestrial environments. Microbial mats - layered biofilms containing different types of cells - are most complex systems in which representatives of various groups of organisms are found to...
