Microbial community dynamics and cycling of plutonium and iron in a seasonally stratified and radiologically contaminated pond

Abstract Plutonium (Pu) cycling and mobility in the environment can be impacted by the iron cycle and microbial community dynamics. We investigated the spatial and temporal changes of the microbiome in an iron (Fe)-rich, plutonium-contaminated, monomictic reservoir (Pond B, Savannah River Site, Sout...
