Aerobic Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacteria Promote the Development of Biological Soil Crusts
Chlorophyll-containing oxygenic photoautotrophs have been well known to play a fundamental role in the development of biological soil crusts (BSCs) by harvesting solar radiations and providing fixed carbon to the BSCs ecosystems. Although the same functions can be theoretically fulfilled by the wide...
