Fig. 3

Heatmap depicting the gene expression of 352 protein coding genes (columns) in the genome of Ca. A. aquiferis across seven metatranscriptome samples (rows) taken from anoxic groundwater of well H5-2 and oxic groundwater of well H4-1 at the Hainich critical zone exploratory (CZE) during two sampling campaigns. The genes are arranged in order according to their position in the Ca. A. aquiferis genome, with highly expressed genes and other selected genes annotated above the heatmap. The gene expression was normalized to “transcripts per thousand”, and then log2 transformed to highlight the genome-wide expression pattern. Ef-Tu: Elongation factor Tu; Ef-G: Elongation factor G; RP S12 & L31: Ribosomal proteins S12 and L31. Accession numbers of the datasets are available in the Method section.
