High Diversity in Iron Cycling Microbial Communities in Acidic, Iron-Rich Water of the Pyhäsalmi Mine, Finland

<div>Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of the (a) bacterial and (b) fungal communities detected in the original mine water (circle) and enriched in medium 180 (square), medium 176 (downwards triangle), Fe(III) (diamond), and Fe(III)Ye (triangle). The colours indicate which mine water the sample originated from; red – P240m, green – P500m, and blue – P600m.</div>
