Archaeal and bacterial diversity in an arsenic-rich shallow-sea hydrothermal system undergoing phase separation

Phase separation is a ubiquitous process in seafloor hydrothermal vents, creating a large range of salinities. Toxic elements (e.g., arsenic) partition into the vapor phase, and thus can be enriched in both high and low salinity fluids. However, investigations of microbial diversity at sites associa...
