As a result microbial mats began to produce the atmosphere we know today, in which free oxygen is a vital component.

If such endosymbiosis was an important factor, microbial mats would have encouraged it.

The microbial mats were slow, careful, with the gingerly care of the vastly elderly.

Research at station includes dune stabilization using grasses and microbial mats.
