Competition-cooperation in the chemoautotrophic ecosystem of Movile Cave: first metagenomic approach on sediments

Abstract Background Movile Cave (SE Romania) is a chemoautotrophically-based ecosystem fed by hydrogen sulfide-rich groundwater serving as a primary energy source analogous to the deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems. Our current understanding of Movile Cave microbiology has been confined to the sulfidi...
