Background: Microbial diversity and community structures in acidic hot springs have been characterized by 16S rRNA gene-based diversity surveys. However, our understanding regarding the interactions a
Five iron mat communities were sampled with a hydraulic biosyringe suction pump in the Jan Mayen hydrothermal vent fields (71°N 6°W). The sampling method led to two phases; a solid bottom fraction (ra
