Journal ArticleDOI
Microbialites in a modern lagoonal environment: nature and distribution, Tikehau atoll (French Polynesia)
TL;DR: The study of micro-and ultrastructure of stromatolites reveals that they result both from trapping and binding of sediments and from carbonate precipitation in Tikehau lagoon (Tuamotu, French Polynesia) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of microbialite‐forming cyanobacteria in a tropical lagoon: tikehau atoll, tuamotu, french polynesia
TL;DR: Natural populations of benthic cyanobacteria in the lagoon of Tikehau Atoll in French Polynesia were studied using a polyphasic approach that combined field observations, LM, culturing, and molecular sequencing, finding two well‐defined phylogenetic groups, possibly identifying new taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical Control of Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in Modern Lagoonal Microbialites, Tikehau Atoll, French Polynesia
TL;DR: The comparison between amino acid and monosaccharide composition of purified cyanobacterially produced organic matter and that of intramineral organic matrices associated with carbonate precipitates emphasizes the importance of dicarboxylic acids released by the decay of cyanobacterial sheaths, in CaCO3 formation.
