Panels A-l and A-2 show mats growing atop thin organic layers that overlay peat. Panels A-4 and A-5 show thin mats growing directly on top of peat. Panels A-3 and A-6 show mats from the SCC (3) and WP (6) sites. (B) Examples of the resident cyanobacteria in Twin Cays microbial mats: 1-Chroococcus sp.; 2-Microcoleus sp.; 3-Nodularia sp. (with opaque sheath); 4- Johannesbaptista sp.; 5-Aphanocapsa sp.; 6- Lyngbya sp. (thicker single filaments
