Microbial Communities
Lynn Margulis, David Chase, Ricardo Guerrero March 1986 BioScience v36 No3 p160-170
This 1986 journal article reports that most microbial communities have escaped description. The introduction discusses the various reasons for this gap in knowledge, while individual sections cover communities and ecosystems, microbial communities in termite intestines, microbial mats in evaporite flats, and microbial communities of anaerobic sulfurous lakes. The text is rich with illustrations and includes a microbial identification table.
