No Stromatolites on Mars?
Stromatolites, photosynthetic microorganisms and Mars: Numerous upcoming martian missions will be searching for traces of life. With the observational instrumentation that will be available on future robotic missions, such as MSL and ExoMars, the most obvious traces to search for will be macroscopic to microscopic laminations produced by microbial mats, such as stromatolites. Stromatolites are ...
متن کاملMicrobial Diversity in Modern Stromatolites
Poised at the biosphere–lithosphere interface, the microbial consortia associated with stromatolites have a profound impact on the evolution of Earth’s environment. In this chapter, we review the current state of knowledge of microbial diversity in extant stromatolites by examining data generated using cultivationindependent molecular techniques. Specifically, we compare natural stromatolitic m...

متن کاملThe evolution of geobiology in the context of living stromatolites
Science has achieved tremendous success over the centuries, partly because the complexities of the Earth, the physical processes that sustain the planet, and the enormity of life were separated into disparate fi elds of study—mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and geology, to name only a few. Scientifi c compartmentalization was initially necessary to impart enough focus to make progress...
