Metagenomic and genomic analyses of modern freshwater microbialites : unmasking a community of complex metabolic potential
Microbialites represent the oldest known persistent ecosystems and potentially the earliest evidence of life on the planet, having existed for ~85% of the geologic history of Earth (Dupraz et al., 2009).
