Depth profiles of temperature (1st column), porewater dissolved sulfate, methane, and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations (2nd column), bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene abundances (3rd column), bacterial (4th column) and archaeal community structure (5th column) across the 10 study sites. a Sites from the NSA. b Sites from the SA. Bacteria and Archaea community structure is shown at the phylum level, except in Proteobacteria, which are displayed at the class level (see asterisk). To improve visibility, we adjusted the depth axis range for bacterial and archaeal communities at Everest Mound, only showing the top 10 cm, where microbial 16S rRNA genes were above detection. Sulfate and methane data from the NSA, except those from MUC12, were previously published27.
