Unexpected genetic and microbial diversity for arsenic cycling in deep sea cold seep sediments

Abstract Cold seeps, where cold hydrocarbon-rich fluid escapes from the seafloor, show strong enrichment of toxic metalloid arsenic (As). The toxicity and mobility of As can be greatly altered by microbial processes that play an important role in global As biogeochemical cycling. However, a global o...
