Scheme illustrating the presumably predominant metabolisms in the Los Rueldos microenvironments. Hypothetical initial steps of colonisation are indicated for the establishment of the B1 streamer as well as main metabolic transformations that give origin to auto- and heterotrophic metabolisms. AMD flow is indicated by the arrows at the right side of each.
