“…The scenarios focused on redox couples that were geochemically plausible, as well as those indicated by potential metabolisms derived from microbial community data, which included aerobic organisms in addition to facultative aerobes, and strict anaerobes (Christner et al, 2014; Purcell et al, 2014; Achberger et al, 2016). Scenario A used the observed physicochemical measurements from the SLW water column: temperature, pH, redox (pE), and concentrations of acetate, formate, DIC, O 2 (aq), CH 4 (aq), SO, NO, NO, NH, Cl − and F − , Total dissolved Fe, Ca, Mg, Na, K, and P (Table S1).…”
