• Microbial mat ecosystems: Structure types, functional diversity, and biotechnological application (2018, positive): “In the study of microbial mats, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been fundamental to study microstructure and the morphology of the bacteria that comprise the mats [19,59,68,71,72].”

• Sulfate reducing bacteria in microbial mats: Changing paradigms, new discoveries (2006, background): “On this small scale, oxygen can be low due to aerobic consumption, resulting in incomplete sulfide oxidation (Visscher and Stolz, 2005), which yields additional calcium carbonate precipitation rather then dissolution (Visscher and Stolz, 2005).”
