Normalized diversity of the bacterial communities determined by comparative 16S rRNA gene analysis. The samples were collected 1.20 m from the spring outlet in August 2009 either from the microbial mat (side) or from the flow channel (middle). The proteobacterial OTUs are shown on the family level. The microbial mat had 96 clones in total and 74 clones within the proteobacteria. The flow channel had 85 clones in total and 80 clones within the proteobacteria.
