Metabolic diversity and co-occurrence of multiple Ferrovum species at an acid mine drainage site
Abstract Background Ferrovum spp. are abundant in acid mine drainage sites globally where they play an important role in biogeochemical cycling. All known taxa in this genus are Fe(II) oxidizers. Thus, co-occurring members of the genus could be competitors within the same environment. However, we fo...
