New paper by Havas et al. in Geobiology. dx.doi.org/10.1111/gbi....
Systematic measurements of C and O isotope compositions of modern microbialites from 4 mexican lakes show how varying alkalinities significantly impact the recorded isotopic signatures. #geomicrobiology @biomin-impmc.bsky.social

Just published. Check the astonishing diversity of bacteria that can not only form intracellular nanomagnets but also amorphous calcium carbonates that litterally fill the cells. + beautiful EM and cryo-X-ray microscopy images + genomes; follow the link academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...
