Fig. 5: Genomic underpinnings of adaptation to the extreme GFS environment.

From: Genomic and metabolic adaptations of biofilms to ecological windows of opportunity in glacier-fed streams

Fig. 5

a Phylogenomic tree based on Polaromonas genomes recovered from Southern Alps (red) and Caucasus (blue) along with publicly available genomes (grey) and an outgroup (Rhodoferax, dark grey). b Clusters of orthologous (COG20) group pathways enriched in epilithic biofilms MAGs compared to the reference genomes are depicted in the barplot. c Heatmap representing the abundance of genes involved in cold adaptation. Taxonomy at phylum and order levels is depicted. Columns indicate clusters of orthologous groups associated with adaptive genes.
