Relative abundance of Ca. P. alkaliphilum (green) and the two eukaryotic species identified (orange and brown), over the course of the incubation (A). Relative abundance based on rRNA genes retrieved from metagenomes using PhyloFlash. Y-axis is presented as a log-scale. Mann-Kendall Test: Schmidingerothrix: 0.1, p = 0.9; Chlamydomyxa = 0.2, p = 0.7; both Eukaryotes: 0, p = 1. Abundance of viral associated contigs over the incubation (B). The figure displays the top ten most abundant contigs with potential viral association. The top ten viral contigs had high confidence BLAST hits (>98% sequence identity) to contigs from MAGs, so the viral contigs are colored based on their potential bacterial host. The taxonomy of the predicted hosts are A13: Rhodobacteraceae, A5: Pararhodobacter, F3: Alkalibacterium, P1: UBA6054 (genus of Planctomycetota), V6: Verruco-01 (family of Verrucomicrobiota). The green dashed line shows the average contig depth for the Ca. P. alkaliphilum co-assembly MAG over the same samples. Each time point from the metagenome analysis represents a sacrificed independent experiment.
