Description
English:  

Three photographs of biofilms found near underwater fresh water springs in the Dead Sea, approximately 1.8 km west of Mitzpe Shalem, in 2010 by Ionescu, et al, and published in PLoS ONE on 5 June 2012.

A: Small patches of thin white biofilms covered sediments adjacent to the water source in springs 1–5.*

B: Thick white biofilms covered sediments around spring 12,* whereas top and bottom surfaces of rocks found within this spring were covered with green and white biofilms, respectively.

C: Large white biofilms covered slopes below springs 10 and 11* at depths around 20 m (66 ft), although no water seepage was detected.

Scale bar: 20 cm (7.9 in)
