Fig. 5: Temporal distribution of phosphonate cycling genes across Munida Time Series Transect (MOTS).
From: Global and seasonal variation of marine phosphonate metabolism
Results from DIAMOND searches of phosphonate cycling gene databases against the MOTS dataset. Gene hits were normalized by copy number and sequence length with relative abundance calculated based on the length-normalized average of five conserved single-copy genes as a proxy for a count of individuals within a sample, displayed as a relative percentage of community members. Abundance data is shown for select dates between June 2014 and June 2017, where June/August samples represent winter (W) and December/February time points represent summer (S). Results are shown for marker genes for phosphonate production (left), substrate-specific catabolism (center), and broad-specificity catabolism (right). Data for the three water masses are shown separately for sub-tropical (STW; top), sub-Antarctic (SAW; middle), and 500 m deep sub-Antarctic (SAW-MES; bottom) samples. Results from the ANOVA analysis comparing seasonal relative gene abundance can be found in Supplementary Table S9.
