Processes of carbonate precipitation in modern microbial mats (2009, background): “Regardless, contemporary microbial mats are believed to hold the key for the past (Krumbein et al., 2003) providing insight into the role of microbes in mineral precipitation.”
Formation and Taphonomy of Human Footprints in Microbial Mats of Present-Day Tidal-flat Environments: Implications for the Study of Fossil Footprints (2009, background): “…of benthic microbial communities, which are usually dominated by photosynthetic prokaryotes, particularly cyanobacteria and photosynthetic bacteria, and occasionally by eukaryotic microalgae such as diatoms (e.g., Bauld, 1984; Cohen et al., 1984; Krumbein et al., 2003; Levit and Krumbein, 2003).”
