Fig. 3

a Sankey plot depicting association of original hosts of prophages with the predicted hosts identified by CRISPR spacer matching across different habitats and host taxa at phylum level. One small grid represents one virus-bacterium pair, while different colors show the phylum of lysogen. b The distribution and proportion of prophage hosts between highly antibiotic-exposure habitats (HH) and low antibiotic-exposure habitats (LH). c The distribution and proportion of prophages with transmission potential between HH habitats and LH habitats. d The distribution and proportion of ARGs-carrying prophages between HH and LH habitats.
