  abstract = {{T}he acid waters (p{H} = 2.73-3.4) that originate from the {C}arnoules mine tailings ({F}rance) are known for their very high concentrations of {A}s (up to 10,000 mg l(-1)) and {F}e (up to 20,000 mg l(-1)). {T}o analyze the composition of the archaeal community, (their temporal variation inside the tailing and spatial variations all along the {R}eigous {C}reek, which drains the site), seven 16{S} r{RNA} gene libraries were constructed. {C}lone analysis revealed that all the sequences were affiliated to the phylum {E}uryarchaeota, while {C}renarchaeota were not represented. {T}he study showed that the structure of the archaeal community of the aquifer of the tailing stock is different to that of the {R}eigous {C}reek. {I}rrespective of the time of sampling, the most abundant sequences found inside the tailing stock were related to {F}erroplasma acidiphilum, an acidophilic and ferrous-iron oxidizing {A}rchaea well known for its role in bioleaching. {I}nversely, in {R}eigous {C}reek, a sequence affiliated to the uncultured {T}hermoplasmatales archaeon, clone {YAC}1, was largely dominant. {T}his study provides a better understanding of the microbial community associated with an acid mine drainage rich in arsenic.},
