The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Microbial Diversity in Caves (2016, background): “Other studies (Spilde et al. 2005) revealed that Proteobacteria contribute to the formation of ferromanganese deposits.”
Diversity of rock varnish bacterial communities from Black Canyon, New Mexico (2010, background): “Attempts to isolate individual strains in pure culture often do not result in mineral precipitation that matches the minerals we observe in nature [Spilde et al., 2005].”
LAMPENFLORA ALGAE AND METHODS OF GROWTH CONTROL (2009, background): “Manganese oxide deposits are listed among cave minerals of predominantly microbial origin (Northup and Lavoie, 2001; Spilde et al., 2005).”
Microbial Diversity of Cave Ecosystems (2010, background): “Similarly, iron-oxidizing bacteria were also identified from cave sediments, cave walls, and karst aquifers (e.g., Provencio and Polyak 2001), and recent studies have shown that deposits of ferromanganese minerals do accumulate and change due to microbial activities (Northup et al. 2003; Spilde et ”
GEOMICROBIOLOGY IN CAVE ENVIRONMENTS: PAST, CURRENT AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES (2007, background): “Spilde et al. (2005) also demonstrated that some of the mineral species identified in these deposits can be reproduced in vitro by microbial species inoculated from these environments and fed a chemical diet of the reduced 172 N Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, April 2007 metal ions present…”
