Our results indicate that the opposite is true: we found no correlation between estimated cell numbers and relative abundances of Gallionellaceae as opposed to a highly significant correlation between relative abundances of Zetaproteobacteria and Gallionellaceae , providing strong evidence for Gallionellaceae being an intrinsic part of the microbial communities in the iron mats.
