This study characterizes the morphology and distribution of microbial mats growing in gas-supersaturated, perennially ice-covered lakes Fryxell, Joyce, and Hoare of the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. Photosynthetic benthic mats within the gas-supersaturated zone trap oxygen-rich bubbles and become buoyant, tearing off the bottom as &amp;ldquo;liftoff mats.&amp;rdquo; These liftoff mats form a succession of morphologies starting with bubble-induced deformation of flat mats into tent, ridge, and finger liftoff mat. With progressive deformation, mats tear, forming sheet liftoff, while multiple cycles of deformation and tearing transform sheet into strip liftoff. Some mats detach from the substrate and float to the underside of the ice. The depth range of the liftoff zone has varied over time at each lake. Downslope expansion of bubble formation brings previously bubble-free, deep-water pinnacle mats into the liftoff zone. When the liftoff zone shallows, liftoff mats at the deeper end deflate and can become scaffolding for additional mat growth. The superposition and relative orientation of liftoff and pinnacle mats can be used to track the maximum depth of the liftoff zone and changes in gas saturation state in these lakes through time. Our results demonstrate that gas bubbles, even when they are transitory, can exert a significant impact on the morphology of microbial mats at larger scales. This provides a way to identify similar structures and gas supersaturated environments in the biosedimentary record.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lumian, Jessica E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jungblut, Anne D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dillon, Megan L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hawes, Ian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peter T.

The ability of cyanobacteria to counter this effect has implications for understanding the productivity of benthic microbial mats in sulfidic environments throughout Earth history. In Lake Fryxell, Antarctica, the benthic, filamentous cyanobacterium &lt;em&gt;Phormidium pseudopriestleyi&lt;/em&gt; creates a 1&amp;ndash;2 mm thick layer of 50 &amp;micro;mol L&lt;sup&gt;&amp;minus;1&lt;/sup&gt; O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; in otherwise sulfidic water, demonstrating that it sustains oxygenic photosynthesis in the presence of sulfide. A metagenome-assembled genome of &lt;em&gt;P. pseudopriestleyi&lt;/em&gt; indicates a genetic capacity for oxygenic photosynthesis, including multiple copies of &lt;em&gt;psbA&lt;/em&gt; (encoding the D1 protein of Photosystem II), and anoxygenic photosynthesis with a copy of &lt;em&gt;sqr&lt;/em&gt; (encoding the sulfide quinone reductase protein that oxidizes sulfide). The genomic content of &lt;em&gt;P. pseudopriestleyi&lt;/em&gt; is consistent with sulfide tolerance mechanisms including increasing &lt;em&gt;psbA&lt;/em&gt; expression or directly oxidizing sulfide with sulfide quinone reductase. However, the ability of the organism to reduce Photosystem I via sulfide quinone reductase while Photosystem II is sulfide-inhibited, thereby performing anoxygenic photosynthesis in the presence of sulfide, has yet to be demonstrated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jungblut, Anne D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ian Hawes</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mackey, Tyler J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krusor, Megan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peter T.
