Figure 4: In situ fine-tuning of gene expression by Candidatus Microthrix parvicella.
From: Community-integrated omics links dominance of a microbial generalist to fine-tuned resource usage
(a) Dendrogram based on the amino acid similarities of 29 predicted long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligases encoded by the Candidatus Microthrix parvicella population (CG8b). Metagenomic (grey) and metatranscriptomic (red) data represented as fragments per 1 kb of sequence per 106 mapped reads (FPKM), the protein abundance data (blue) is represented as the log10 of the Normalized Spectral Indices (NSI). (b) Qualitative gene expression patterns of the five most prevalent homologous gene sets belonging to the COG category ‘I—lipid transport and metabolism’ encoded by Candidatus Microthrix parvicella (CG8b) and the CG5 population at the metatranscriptomic (red) and metaproteomic (blue) levels across four sampling time points.
