Conceptual model of simple cyanobacterial microbial mat community
Conceptual model of a thermophilic cyanobacterial microbial mat community containing three members (daylight hours shown here) (syn=oxygenic phototroph; fap=filamentous anoxygenic phototroph; srb=sulfate-reducing bacteria). Primary productivity from the oxygenic phototroph (syn) contributes metabolites used by other community members (fap and srb).
