a The division of Aquificota-assigned 16S rRNA gene operational taxonomic units (OTUs) to their respective genus (defined by colour) from amplicon sequencing of the microbial communities found in 925 geothermal springs prior to filtering. Where taxonomy was unable to be assigned to an OTU at genus level, the corresponding family is shown (f). b All springs that contained Aquificota (n = 891) in the TVZ are plotted according to environmental pH and temperature. Diversity in each spring is represented by the number of Aquificota-assigned OTUs defined by colour and shape (blue circles [<50 OTUs], green squares [50-100 OTUs], or red triangles [>100 OTUs]), with data ellipses assuming multivariate t-distribution and a 95% confidence level.
