Metal contamination from mining or natural weathering is a common feature of surface waters in the American west. Traditionally, stream macroinvertebrate community metrics have been used for stream quality assessments. Advances in microbial analyses have created the potential for routine sampling of aquatic microbiomes as a tool to assess the quality of stream habitat. We sought to determine if microbiome diversity and membership were affected by metal contamination in a manner similar to what
