Relative abundances of bacterial and archaeal phyla in LHC precipitates. S1, S2, S3, S4 indicates Site number where a sample was taken, followed by the type of sample taken: top, leading edge (LE), precipitate interior (IN), and leading-edge metagenome (LE MG). Each bar represents the microbial community of a biological replicate. Cyanobacteria are most abundant in the precipitate top portions and at the leading edge of the Site 4 precipitate. Aquificae is heavily represented in the warmest parts of the hot spring closer to the source and Thermotogae dominates the interior mineral material.
