Specific carbonate–microbe interactions in the modern microbialites of Lake Alchichica (Mexico)

The role of microorganisms in microbialite formation remains unresolved: do they induce mineral precipitation (microbes first) or do they colonize and/or entrap abiotic mineral precipitates (minerals first)? Does this role vary from one species to another? And what is the impact of mineral precipita...
