16S rRNA gene copy numbers of different organism-groups per g wet wt sediment of sites R2 (pH 4.4) and R3 (pH 6.3). Given are means and standard deviations of triplicate qPCR measurements with group-specific primers. The numbers above the bars represent the % of bacterial communities of a certain FeOB (Gallionella spp., Sideroxydans spp., “Ferrovum myxofaciens”) or FeRB (Albidoferax ferrireducens, Geobacter spp., Acidiphilium spp.) group, whereas the numbers above the brackets represent the sum % of bacterial communities of all three tested FeOB groups or all three tested FeRB groups together. wt, weight; FeOB, iron-oxidizing bacteria; FeRB, iron-reducing bacteria.
