Metagenomic insights into the dominant Fe(II) oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria from an iron mat at Lōi’hi, Hawai’I

Zetaproteobacteria are among the most prevalent Fe(II) oxidizing bacteria at deep-sea hydrothermal vents; however, knowledge about their environmental significance is limited. We provide metagenomic insights into an iron mat at the Lōʻihi Seamount, Hawai’I, revealing novel genomic information of loc...
