The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

Ooid shoals, sedimentary structures consisting of carbonate grains, are often used as
proxies to explore changes in seawater chemistry over Earth history. Despite their …

Many heterotrophic bacteria are known to release extracellular vesicles, facilitating
interactions between cells and their environment from a distance. Vesicle production has not …

A mechanistic understanding of relationships between global glaciation, a putative second
rise in atmospheric oxygen, the Shuram carbon isotope excursion, and the appearance of …

The first interaction of water column‐derived organic matter with benthic microbial
communities takes place in surface sediments which are acting as biological filters …

Ooid formation remains elusive despite their importance as palaeoclimatic indicators and
important contributors to global carbonate budget. Based on stable isotopes, nutrient and …

Ooids are one of the common constituents of ancient carbonate rocks, yet the role that
microbial communities may or may not play in their formation remains unresolved. To search …

Great Bahama Bank (GBB) is the principal location of the formation and accumulation of
ooids (concentrically coated, sand-size carbonate grains) in the world today, and as such …

Ooids are a common component of carbonate successions of all ages and present
significant potential as paleoenvironmental proxies, if the mechanisms that control their …

Ooids are sedimentary grains that are distributed widely in the geologic record. Their
formation is still actively debated, which limits our understanding of the significance and …
