Figure 1: Rank abundance of gene transcripts.
From: Microbial iron uptake as a mechanism for dispersing iron from deep-sea hydrothermal vents

The grey circles are genes of the whole GB plume community and yellow triangles are genes for Fe uptake in the plume metatranscriptomic de novo assembly. The relative abundance of gene transcripts was normalized to the length of gene fragment and the total number of all transcripts. Representative genes involving Fe transport are indicated.
