Ediacara biota flourished in oligotrophic and bacterially dominated marine environments across Baltica

The environments and food sources that sustained Ediacara biota 575-541 million years ago remain unclear. Here, the authors perform lipid biomarker and isotopic analyses on biota fossil-containing Ediacaran strata from Baltica and propose the presence of a microbial loop bolstered by bacteria.
