A modern lithifying biofilm, associated with fluvial calcareous tufa in southern Italy, is composed of a complex community of micro‐organisms including autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria, together with likely viruses (bacteriophages) and bacterial vesicles. Produced by most of the bacterial form...
