Novel Microorganisms Contribute to Biosulfidogenesis in the Deep Layer of an Acidic Pit Lake

Cueva de la Mora is a permanently stratified acidic pit lake with extremely high concentrations of heavy metals at depth. In order to evaluate the potential for in situ sulfide production, we characterized the microbial community in the deep layer using metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. We retri...
