Abstract
Scytonemin, a UV-screening molecule produced by certain Cyanobacteria to protect against harmful UV radiation, was studied in endolithic cyanobacterial colonies in the halite crust from one of the driest places on Earth - the hyperarid zone of the Atacama Desert. The distribution of the pigment within the evaporitic crust was studied in detail by various independent analytical methods: Raman spectroscopy (including Raman imaging); advanced...
