Molecular Evidence for Bacterial Mediation of Calcite Formation in Cold High-Altitude Caves
Three samples of moonmilk from high-altitude caves in northeast Italy were analysed for their lipid biomarker content, providing the first organic geochemical investigation into the relationship between cave bacterial communities and calcitic speleothems. The results demonstrate a positive associati...
