Abstract

Scanning electron microscopic study of the Archaean (> 2.6 Ga old) banded iron-formation of the Bababudan Group, Dharwar Supergroup reveals the presence of coccoid and rod-shaped bacteria in syngenetic pyrite grains of the Kudremukh iron-formation. These resemble sulphur-reducing bacteria.
