Metagenomics-based, functional profiles of selected MASE sites (sulfidic spring SM, acidic lake SS3 and permafrost SOB). Overview on the found functional pathways and functions and their relative abundance (a), and the difference in the functional profiles of the different MASE sites (b). The comparison with other, non-extreme, but comparable sites (soil, groundwater, lake) does not reveal significant impact on the metagenomics profile (c). MASE site differ significantly from other moderate (soil, groundwater, lake) or extreme (brine, Antarctic lake, permafrost) environments in a number of functions (d)
