Fig. 5: The proposed metabolic pathways of the coupling between aerobic methane (CH4) oxidation and denitrification in the paddy soils.
From: Metabolic coupling between soil aerobic methanotrophs and denitrifiers in rice paddy fields
A The color gradients represent the logarithm of transcripts per million (TPM) of major genes in the corresponding metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) classified as methanotrophs and denitrifiers, respectively, in the heavy DNA from 13CH4 incubation. The definitions of genes are listed in Supplementary Table 7. B Changes in the 13C-labeled fraction of metabolites derived from 13CH4 oxidation in the three typical soils. The square, circle, and triangle in (A) represent MAGs recovered from black soil, red soil, and yellow soil, respectively. The error bar in (B) represents the standard error of triplicate samples, and data are presented as mean values ± standard error (n = 3; one-way ANOVA followed by two-sided Tukey post hoc test). Different lowercase letters in (B) indicate significant differences between treatments (p < 0.05). Exact p values and Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
