Archaea at the El Tatio Geyser Field : community composition, diversity, and distribution across hydrothermal features and geochemical gradients

Archaea at the El Tatio Geyser Field : community composition, diversity, and distribution across hydrothermal features and geochemical gradients

Methanogenesis, a metabolic pathway unique to Archaea, is severely inhibited by the reduced form of arsenic (As). Despite this inhibition, methanogenic Archaea are present in some hydrothermal features at the El Tatio Geyser Field (ETGF), a high-arsenic site with 100+ hydrothermal features, includi...
