Microbial diversity and biosignatures of amorphous silica deposits in orthoquartzite caves

Chemical mobility of crystalline and amorphous SiO(2) plays a fundamental role in several geochemical and biological processes, with silicate minerals being the most abundant components of the Earth’s crust. Although the oldest evidences of life on Earth are fossilized in microcrystalline silica dep...
