The biodiversity of subaerophytic phototrophic biofilms from Maltese hypogea

Original language description

The present study focuses on a description of the biodiversity of subaerial phototrophic biofilms occurring on archaeological surfaces in Maltese hypogean environments, namely St Paul's, St Agatha's and Abbatija tad-Dejr Catacombs, all situated in Rabatand the ancient Hal Saflieni Hypogeum at Paola, Malta. Direct observation of the biofilms, carried out using light (LM), epifluorescent and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), allowed the description of the major cyanobacterial and microalgal taxa, and also the associated heterotrophic microorganisms, mainly actinobacteria. Some biofilm microorganisms were able to grow in culture and this allowed the isolation of cyanobacterial, microalgal and chemoorganotrophic bacterial strains. Thylakoid arrangement and cell division were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The cytomorphology of isolated microorganisms was described. The undisputed phototrophic protagonists in these subaerial biofilms of Maltese hypogean env
