Spirochetes and salt marsh microbial mat geochemistry: Implications for the fossil record (2008)
STEPHENS, Elizabeth A., BRAISSANT, Olivier, VISSCHER, Pieter T.
Les tapis microbiens sont des associations microbiennes agissant en synergie par le biais desquelles les éléments majeurs tels que le soufre sont recyclés au travers de processus microbiens et...
Dupraz, Christophe, Visscher, Pieter T., Baumgartner, K. L., Reid, R. P.
Microbialites (benthic microbial carbonate deposits) were discovered in a hypersaline alkaline lake on Eleuthera Island (Bahamas). From the edge towards the centre of the lake, four main zones of...

Microbial lithification in marine stromatolites and hypersaline mats (2006)
Dupraz, Christophe, Visscher, Pieter T.
Lithification in microbial ecosystems occurs when precipitation of minerals outweighs dissolution. Although the formation of various minerals can result from microbial metabolism, carbonate...

Low-Molecular-Weight Sulfonates, a Major Substrate for Sulfate Reducers in Marine Microbial Mats†
Visscher, Pieter T., Gritzer, Rachel F., Leadbetter, Edward R.
Several low-molecular-weight sulfonates were added to microbial mat slurries to investigate their effects on sulfate reduction. Instantaneous production of sulfide occurred after taurine and cysteate...
Production and Consumption of Dimethylsulfoniopropionate in Marine Microbial Mats
Visscher, Pieter T., Van Gemerden, Hans
The fate of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a major sulfonium compound in marine ecosystems, was examined in Microcoleus chthonoplastes-dominated microbial mats. Chemical decomposition of DMSP was...
Oremland, Ronald S., Blum, Jodi Switzer, Culbertson, Charles W., Visscher, Pieter T., Miller, Laurence G., Dowdle, Phillip, ...
A gram-negative, strictly anaerobic, motile vibrio was isolated from a selenate-respiring enrichment culture. The isolate, designated strain SES-3, grew by coupling the oxidation of lactate to...
Organic Thiols as Organolithotrophic Substrates for Growth of Phototrophic Bacteria
Visscher, Pieter T., Taylor, Barrie F.
Rhodopseudomonas sp. strain BB1, isolated from a coastal marine sediment, immediately metabolized mercaptomalate when grown on mercaptomalate. Sulfide was detected as an intermediate. Extracts of...
Kiene, Ronald P., Visscher, Pieter T.
Anoxic salt marsh sediments were amended with dl-methionine and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). Microbial metabolism of methionine yielded methane thiol (MSH) as the major volatile organosulfur...

Light-Dependant Biostabilisation of Sediments by Stromatolite Assemblages
Paterson, David M., Aspden, Rebecca J., Visscher, Pieter T., Consalvey, Mireille, Andres, Miriam S., Decho, Alan W., ...
For the first time we have investigated the natural ecosystem engineering capacity of stromatolitic microbial assemblages. Stromatolites are laminated sedimentary structures formed by microbial...
