  "summary": "Hot springs are employed as model systems for understanding how environmental stress structures microbial communities, yet the mechanisms by which geothermal stress reorganizes community metabolism remain poorly understood. Here we combined genome-resolved metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, aqueous geochemistry, and community metabolic modelling to investigate photosynthetic biofilms across the…",
