Fig. 6: Global abundance of freshwater α and β-cyanobacteria in various lakes and reservoirs from across the globe.
From: α-cyanobacteria possessing form IA RuBisCO globally dominate aquatic habitats
A total of 284 metagenomics datasets from lakes/reservoirs of varying trophic status and locations all over the world were used to assess abundance via read recruitment (RPKGs). A Map showing the locations of the metagenomics datasets (indicated by red stars) from which RPKG values were obtained. For each lake, we represent the number of used datasets with an n. The bar plot shows the total sum of RPKG values of 69 cluster 5 α-cyanobacterial isolates and 41 β-cyanobacterial strains. B PCO plot showing the different distribution of each isolate in all lakes, assessed as individual RPKG values for each strain.
