a Bar plot representing the number of detected HGT genes categorized by the suspected source taxa of the horizontal transfer. Only the top 15 most abundant taxa are shown. b The scatterplot representing the one-sided correlation test between the number of detected HGT events and genome sizes (Pearson’s r = 0.82, p < 0.0001). The colors of points correspond to the habitat from which strains have been isolated (red – soil, green – puddle, blue – moss). c Boxplots of detected HGT events per genome Mb among Microcoleus lineages (n = 200 strains). The colors correspond to the lineages’ color codes from Fig. 2. d The violin plot shows a comparison of the number of HGT events per genome Mb between Microcoleus strains (n = 201) occupying puddles and soil. Statistically significant Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.0001) is indicated on the top bar. Boxplots show the median, interquartile range, default whiskers, and outliers as points.
