Ratios of DS:DO were nearly 4000 times higher at sample sites in Conch versus Octopus Springs. [Gene names: sqr = sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase, cytBD = bd-type ubiquinol cytochrome oxidase; cydAA’ = archaeal cytochrome oxidase; sox = sulfur oxidation complex including subunits soxA, soxB, soxX, soxY, and soxZ; aioAB = arsenite oxidase large and small subunits; HCO = heme Cu oxidase complex subunits I, II and III; and energy generating ATPase subunits a, b, and c.].
