Microbial mats: an ecological niche for fungi
Fungi were documented in tropical hypersaline microbial mats and their role in the degradation of complex carbohydrates (exopolymeric substance - EPS) was explored. Fungal diversity is higher during the wet season with Acremonium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Penicillium among the more common genera. Diversity is also higher in the oxic layer and in young and transient mats. Enrichments with ...
متن کاملPrologue: an Introduction to Microbial Mats
Paracelsus (approx. 1519) is on record as having been among the first to have taken note of the substrate-altering and rock-generating properties of biofilms (Krumbein, 1994). Yet, he simply was so far ahead of his time that his perfectly modern sounding descriptions were soon forgotten. Subsequently, scientists have discovered, forgotten, and re-invented the significance of biofilms and microb...

متن کاملNiche differentiation of bacterial communities at a millimeter scale in Shark Bay microbial mats
Modern microbial mats can provide key insights into early Earth ecosystems, and Shark Bay, Australia, holds one of the best examples of these systems. Identifying the spatial distribution of microorganisms with mat depth facilitates a greater understanding of specific niches and potentially novel microbial interactions. High throughput sequencing coupled with elemental analyses and biogeochemic...
متن کاملRepresenting the Dimensions of an Ecological Niche
Niche theory has driven a century of ecological investigations and has been the starting point for the few studies in existence of ecological ontology. This study investigates how scientists conceptualize niche theory, and uses that information to develop a high level ontological framework. That framework includes process, theory, entities, experiments, space, and time. These components are lin...
