The presence or absence of metabolic pathways was determined based on KEGG annotations and the criteria outlined in Supplementary Data 6 and 7. Green-filled sectors represent pathways detected in one or more SAGs of the genus UBA1550, which is the most abundant genus of Patescibacteria in SLM. Red-filled sectors indicate pathways present in one or more SAGs of the genus C7867-001, the second most abundant genus. Blue-filled sectors denote pathways found in one or more genomes of the remaining Patescibacterial SAGs. Unfilled circles indicate pathways that were not detected in any patescibacterial SAGs. An inset provides a detailed view of the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, spanning from fructose-6-phosphate to xylulose-5-phosphate. Sedo-7P stands for sedoheptulose 7-phosphate.
