We have all the means to cultivate anaerobic and aerobic microbes from marine to freshwater sediments. Anaerobic chambers provide ideal conditions to work under an oxygen-free environment.

Living stromatolites from Lagoa Vermelha, Brazil, are cultivated under natural conditions in the laboratory to study the microbial community and the processes involved in carbonate mineral formation.
