Abstract

The leading role of bacterial communities in the formation of marine sedimentary rocks is inferred from the synthesis of expert knowledge about bacterial paleontology, while the results of oceanic studies (materials and data) offer new insights into symbiotic relationships between phototrophic and chemotrophic bacteria and fauna.
