Surface: Lyngbya sp. occupied 75% of mats surface, forming entengled net of the robustly enveloped filaments, sometimes forming continues (solid) coverage [Mostly with 1 to 2 layers of filaments]. Cross section: 1 layer. Surface layer is thin, ~ 0.1 mm, composed mostly from Lyngbya sp. 2 layer. First white layer. Thickness of the layer is 0.15 mm. 3 layer. Dark blue-green layer. With filamentous forms without scytonemin. Thickness of the layer is ~ 0.2 mm [This discontinues layer occured rarely within cross section]. 4 layer. White layer, probably composed from sediments. Thickness of the layer is over 4 mm. TOTAL THICKNESS OF THE MAT IS ~ 0.25 (0.45 in the places with layer 3) mm. Note: In the longitudinal axis mat is not continuous (discrete). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Species abundance depending of layer: Species Surface Second layer 2mm deep ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.
