The water had a pH of 5.15 and contained 1.4 g/L of sulfate. Unlike acid mine drainage associated with mining of sulfide ores, the content of iron and heavy metals was low. Molecular analysis of the microbial community was performed by high-throughput sequencing of ...

Arsenite oxidizing microorganisms (e.g. found within the Proteobacteria, Deinococci and Crenarchaeota) conserve energy from the oxidation of arsenite to arsenate and can be autotrophs or heterotrophs (Oremland and Stolz, 2003).
