Conspicuous gelatinous deposits found on permanetly drenched pitwood planks in an old ore mine were analyzed microscopically. They contained a very characteristic microbial community consisting primarily of bacteria producing various kinds of slime capsules, stalks, hyphae or other appendages. The high degree of morphological diversity and the remarkable enrichment of differentiated cell types may reflelct selective advantages realized under the continous pressure imposed by such an unusual biotope.
