Viruses Occur Incorporated in Biogenic High-Mg Calcite from Hypersaline Microbial Mats.

Viruses Occur Incorporated in Biogenic High-Mg Calcite from Hypersaline Microbial Mats.

Using three different microscopy techniques (epifluorescence, electronic and atomic force microscopy), we showed that high-Mg calcite grains in calcifying microbial mats from the hypersaline lake "La Salada de Chiprana", Spain, contain viruses with a diameter of 50-80 nm. Energy-dispersive...
