| Abstract/Contents: | "In this review some aspects of the physiological ecology of cyanobacteria are discussed by taking a microbial mat as an example. The majority of microbial mats are built and dominated by cyanobacteria which are primary producers at the basis of the microbial foodweb in microbial mats. These micro-scale ecosystems are characterized by steep and fluctuating physico-chemical gradients of which those of light, oxygen and sulphide are the most conspicuous. Light is strongly attenuated in the sediment, and owing to constant sedimentation, the mat-forming cyanobacteria have to move upwards towards the light." Discusses the process of photosynthesis and the roles played by sulphate, nitrogen and iron. Focuses on microbial mats, cyanobacteria in light gradients, dark metabolism, interactions with sulphide, and nitrogen fixation. |
