abstract = {Rainfall and geology of the catchment exert a dominant
control on the trophic state of endorheic basins. River
inflows and runoff provide nutrients, influencing primary
productivity in the water column. Through time,
paleoenvironmental conditions are recorded as variations
within the sedimentary organic fraction. Thereafter,
microbial populations settle and develop within sediments
and lead to degradation processes as long as they remain
active. However, their presence is generally not considered
in Quaternary studies. The present study is based on the
sedimentary record of the maar lake of Laguna Potrok Aike,
southern Patagonia. We investigate the relationship between
paleoenvironmental conditions and colonization of the
corresponding sediments by microbes. Microbiological and
geochemical analyses were combined to determine factors
allowing microbes to sustain their activity over time. The
study of Holocene sediments, containing dense and active
microbial communities, provided means to evaluate the
potential of microbial communities as agents of early
diagenesis. We show that phosphorus released during organic
matter degradation is essential for microbial growth. In
highly colonized sediments, microbial communities appear
capable of recycling the excreted ammonium, thus accounting
for nitrogen fractionation toward high values in bulk
sediment. Microbial activity in Laguna Potrok Aike still
persists in 30 ka old sediments. Thus, we proposed that
future lacustrine studies should include some microbial
indicators to assess their impact in diagenetic processes.},
