Figure 6

Red colour intensity represents gene expression, which was relativized by median RPKM values calculated across each ORF in a given MAG. A value of 1 equals median expression. Top, middle and bottom panels separate amino acids by hydrophilic, hydrophobic and special structured side chains, respectively. Bracketed numbers rank the metabolic cost of amino acid biosynthesis based on values reported by Akashi and Gojobori38, with 1 being the most costly.
