  abstract = {{I}n {M}orocco, pollution caused by closed mines continues to be a serious threat to the environment, like the generation of acid mine drainage. {M}ine drainage is produced by environmental and microbial oxidation of sulfur minerals originating from mine wastes. {T}he fundamental role of microbial communities is well known, like implication of {F}e-oxidizing and to a lesser extent {S}-oxidizing microorganism in bioleaching. {H}owever, the structure of the microbial communities varies a lot from one site to another, like diversity depends on many factors such as mineralogy, concentration of metals and metalloids or p{H}, etc. {I}n this study, prokaryotic communities in the pyrrhotite-rich tailings of {K}ettara mine were characterized using the {I}llumina sequencing. {I}n-depth phylogenetic analysis revealed a total of 12 phyla of bacteria and 1 phyla of {A}rchaea. {T}he majority of sequences belonged to the phylum of {P}roteobacteria and {F}irmicutes with a predominance of {B}acillus, {P}seudomonas or {C}orynebacterium genera. {M}any microbial populations are implicated in the iron, sulfur and arsenic cycles, like {A}cidiferrobacter, {L}eptospirillum, or {A}licyclobacillus in {F}e; {A}cidiferrobacter and {S}ulfobacillus in {S}; and {B}acillus or {P}seudomonas in {A}s. {T}his is one of the first description of prokaryotic communities in pyrrhotite-rich mine tailings using high-throughput sequencing.},
