High Diversity in Iron Cycling Microbial Communities in Acidic, Iron-Rich Water of the Pyhäsalmi Mine, Finland
Table 3
The number of sequences, OTUs, Chao1 estimated number of OTUs, Shannon’s diversity index, and number of identified genera of the bacteria, fungi, and archaea found in the original mine water samples and enrichments. The values in grey indicate that only low numbers of sequence reads were obtained and the data was excluded from the analyses. The sample name abbreviations are as follows; P = Pyhäsalmi; 240 m, 500 m, 600 m = depth; A, B = sample replicate A or B; 176 = ferrous iron-containing medium 176; 180 = ferrous iron-containing medium 180; Fe(III) = ferric iron containing growth medium; Ye = Yeast extract containing growth medium.
