Evaporative silicification in floating microbial mats: patterns of oxygen production and preservation potential in silica‐undersaturated streams, El Tatio, Chile

Microbial mats floating within multiple hydrothermally sourced streams in El Tatio, Chile, frequently exhibit brittle siliceous crusts (~1 mm thick) above the air–water interface. The partially silicified mats contain a diverse assemblage of microbial clades and metabolisms, including cyanobacteria...
