Abstract

Extreme depletions in the 13 C content of the total dissolved inorganic carbon (C T ) were found in brines overlying microbial mat communities. Total alkalinity (A T ) and C T in the brines suggest that intense photosynthetic activity of the microbial mat communities depletes the C T from the brine. -from Authors
