Microbial Mats Stromatolites. Stromatolites, thrombolites, and microbial mats all have microbial origins, but they differ in structure, formation processes, and historical significance. Here we show that growth of modern marine stromatolites represents a dynamic balance between sedimentation and. The role of microbial mats has been crucial throughout the history of the earth for the composition and modification of the. Eight of the 10 stromatolites branched, possessing either petals or branches on their sides or crowns. Stromatolites, i.e., lithified microbial mats that occur in sedimentary successions from at least 3.4 billion years ago until today, hold. Comprising complete cycles of c, n, and s, microbial mats form a nearly closed minimal ecosystem and include the major functional groups of oxygenic photosynthetic primary producers (cyanobacteria), aerobic heterotrophs, sulfur oxidizers, and anaerobic sulfate reducers along a vertical o 2 gradient (visscher and stolz, 2005).
