Mineralogical Diversity in Lake Pavin: Connections with Water Column Chemistry and Biomineralization Processes

Mineralogical Diversity in Lake Pavin: Connections with Water Column Chemistry and Biomineralization Processes

As biominerals are good tracers of microbial interactions with the environment, they may provide signatures of microbial evolution and paleoenvironmental conditions. Since modern analogues of past environments help with defining proxies and biosignatures, we explored microbe mineral interactions in...
