| fungal communities of young and mature hypersaline microbial mats. | microbial mats are a laminated organic-sedimentary ecosystem, found in a wide range of habitats. fluctuating diel and seasonal physicochemical gradients characterize these ecosystems, resulting in both strata and microenvironments that harbor specific microbial communities. this study was undertaken to compare two types of microbial mats across seasons to further understand the structure of fungal communities in hypersaline microbial mats and their seasonal dynamics. the structure and diversity ... | 2013 | 23709488 |
