Microbial mats, considered to be the oldest evidence of microbial communities on Earth, are capable of recycling essential elements of life. The analysis of microbial mats from a small pond in Mexico revealed high chemical diversity in each mat, which could be explained by the temporal dynamic processes in which they were sampled.
Microbial mats are microbial communities capable of recycling the essential elements of life and considered to be the oldest evidence of microbial communities on Earth. Due to their uniqueness and limited sampling material, analyzing their metabolomic profile in different seasons or conditions is challenging. In this study, microbial mats from a small pond in the Cuatro Cienegas Basin in Coahuila, Mexico, were collected in wet and dry seasons. In addition to these samples, mesocosm experiments from the wet samples were set. These mats are elastic and rise after heavy rainfall by forming gas domes structures known as Archean domes, by the outgassing of methanogenic bacteria, archaea, and sulfur bacteria. Extracts from all mats and mesocosms were subjected to untargeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and molecular networking analysis. Interestingly, each mat showed high chemical diversity that may be explained by the temporal dynamic processes in which they were sampled. image
