Role of the terrestrial subsurface in shaping geothermal spring microbial communities
Summary In this study, we explored the possibility that dispersal from terrestrial subsurface sources ‘seeds’ the development of geothermal spring microbial assemblages. We combined microscopy and culture‐independent molecular approaches to survey the bacterial diversity of spring source waters in Y...

Analysis of source water phylogenetic diversity identified members of all bacteria groups found previously in downstream sediments, as well as many other phylogenetic groups. Closely related or identical 16S sequences were determined from the source waters of geographically distant, chemically distinct springs, and we found no association between spring water chemistry and microbial diversity. In the source waters of two different Yellowstone springs, we also discovered a phylogenetic group of uncultured Firmicutes never before reported in geothermal habitats that were closely related to uncultured bacteria found in the hyper‐arid Atacama Desert. Altogether, our results suggest geothermal features can be connected via the subsurface over long distances and that subsurface sources provide a potentially diverse source of microorganisms for downstream surface mat communities.
