Short summary
In order to evaluate how long-lasting industrial metal pollution is affecting microorganism communities inhabiting contaminated sediments in the Gulf of Naples, samples were taken, analyzed, and compared to an unpolluted area. It was revealed that industrial activity caused the sediment to be highly enriched in different metals and that, consequently, the local microorganism community changed as well. This is important because the investigated microorganisms play a crucial role in their ecosystem.
