摘要

Thermophilic microbial communities that thrive in the geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park represent analogs of some of Earth's earliest inhabitants. We report here on the mineralization of microorganisms observed in alkaline silica-depositing hot springs located in Yellowstone National Park. Analytical scanning electron microscopy of microbial streamers revealed that fossilization results from the aggregation of opal-A colloids. Patterns of deposition strongly suggest at least two distinct modes of formation for the colloids: homogeneous precipitation from supersaturated hydrothermal fluids that build up inside cells, and heterogeneous precipitation and flocculation from supersaturated solutions in the sheaths of the bacterium and on microbial cell surfaces.
