Abstract
One of four sampling stations yielded abundant Mn-rich ring-shaped particles <3 mu m in diameter. Small quantities of Si, K, Ca, S, Cu and Zn were also detected in the particles. One star-shaped Mn-bearing particle, approx 2 mu m in diameter, was found. The morphology is similar to that of the microorganism Metallogenium personatum which plays an important role in the formation of freshwater Mn deposits and may further serve as adsorption sites for heavy metals.
