abstract = {Acid sulfate soils release metal laden, acidic waters that affect the environment, buildings,
and human health. In this study, 16S rRNA gene amplicons, metagenomes, and metatranscriptomes
all demonstrated distinct microbial communities and activities in the unoxidized
potential acid sulfate soil, the overlying transition zone, and uppermost oxidized actual acid
sulfate soil. Assembled genomes and mRNA transcripts also suggested abundant oxidized
acid sulfate soil populations that aligned within the Gammaproteobacteria and Terracidiphilus.
In contrast, potentially acid tolerant or moderately acidophilic iron oxidizing Gallionella and
sulfur metabolizing Sulfuricella dominated the transition zone during catalysis of metal sulfide
oxidation to form acid sulfate soil. Finally, anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to nitrate,
sulfate, and ferric reduction were suggested to occur in the reduced parent sediments. In
conclusion, despite comparable metal sulfide dissolution processes e.g., biomining, Gallionella
and Sulfuricella dominated the community and activities during conversion of potential to
actual acid sulfate soils.},
