Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Assessing microbial communities in extreme environments allows the search for novel extremophilic microorganisms that can be of use in the development or improvement of biotechnological processes. Most microbial communities developed in such harsh environments have different heavy metal resistance strategies of importance in some technological applications as biomining but also in the bioremediation of metal-polluted environments. In this chapter we describe the microbial diversity of an acidic, volcanic geothermal environment in Northern Patagonia of Argentina: the Copahue geothermal system, containing different geothermal manifestations with temperatures up to 90 °C and pH values from 2 to 7 under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, provoking an enormous biodiversity. In addition, we report some heavy metal applications of those communities, focusing mainly in the bioprecipitation of heavy metals using sulfate-reducing microorganisms.
