英文摘要 | Microbes are known to mediate dolomite precipitation in laboratory experiments; however, the linkage of specific microbes to ancient dolomites remains poorly constrained due to scarce diagnostic biogeochemical signatures and mineralized microbial relics in the rock record. Here, we report the occurrence of methanogen-mediated dolomite in the Lower Permian lacustrine Lucaogou Formation in northwestern China. The clumped isotope (Delta(47 )) temperature provides direct evidence of a low-temperature origin (typically <40 degrees C). The extremely positive delta Mg-26 ( DSM3) (up to +0.44%0) and delta C-13 ( VPDB) (up to +19%0) values in the dolomite indicate authigenic precipitation in methanogenic lake sediments. Micron-sized spheroidal bodies and filamentous and sheetlike structures are interpreted as mineralized coccoid methanogenic archaea and extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), respectively. Dolomite nanoglobules (primarily 40-100 nm in diameter) are interpreted as mineralized viruses attached to the archaea and EPSs and between the cells. A combination of geochemical and microscale evidence confirms the microbial origin of the dolomite induced by methanogens and their associated bacteriophages. Furthermore, dolomite nanoglobules initially nucleated on the surfaces of methanogen cells, EPSs, and viruses and then merged into larger aggregates. The formation of microbial dolomite is characterized by a metabolic incubation, heterogeneous nucleation, and aggregative growth pathway. These findings provide valuable clues to decipher the biosignatures of these particular ancient dolomites. |
