“The encrusting micrite is interpreted as a form of microbial micrite; this is termed microbialite (Burne and Moore, 1987) and in this study refers exclusively to inferred microbial carbonates.”

“These findings suggest that the molecular differences observed between the communities may be influencing the formation of the distinctive microfabrics of the microbialite deposits.”
