Microbially Induced Sedimentary Structures,
a
mais recente categoria de estruturas sedimentares.
Noffke et al.
(2001): Cyanobacterial films and mats syndepositonally influence
erosion, deposition, and deformation of sediments. The
biomass levels surface morphologies, and microbial mats
stabilize depositional surfaces and shelter the sediment
against erosion or degassing. Growing microbial mats
dredge grains from their substrate upwards, whereas
cyanobacterial filaments that are oriented perpendicular
to the mat surface reach into the supernatant water and baffle,
trap, and bind suspended particles. These and similar
biotic-physical interactions are reflected in
syndepositional formation of microbially induced
sedimentary structures.
