Bacterial response to sharp geochemical gradients caused by acid mine drainage intrusion in a terrace: Relevance of C, N, and S cycling and metal resistance

A unique terrace with sharp gradient of environmental conditions was selected to study the microbial response and survival strategies to the extreme environments introduced by acid mine drainage (AMD) contamination. A combination of geochemical analyses, metagenomic sequencing, ex-situ microcosm set...
