Figure 1: Microbial community dynamics and lipid accumulation from wastewater.
From: Community-integrated omics links dominance of a microbial generalist to fine-tuned resource usage
(a) Fractions of taxa identified across the communities sampled on four distinct dates (SD1–SD4). Roman numerals refer to the four biological replicates sampled per time point. The blue star indicates the representative sample from SD3 subjected to the integrated omic analysis. (b) Average genus-level abundances of the two dominant populations. The most abundant microbial population in winter was identified as Candidatus Microthrix spp., whereas a population tentatively identified (confidence level <0.8) as Perlucidibaca spp. was dominant in autumn. (c) Long-chain fatty acid intracellular accumulation per sampling date expressed as ratios between quantified intracellular and extracellular long-chain fatty acid abundances. (d) Genus-level alpha diversity and evenness. (b–d), error bars represent s.d. (n=4).
