From: Genomic potential for mercury biotransformation in marine sediments across marginal slope to hadal zone

a Percentage of novel 16S miTags at different stations in reference to the SILVA 138 SSU database (p-values were estimated using the two-sided Wilcoxon test for pairwise comparisons). b Estimate of microbiome novelty scores (MNS) at different stations (p-values were estimated using the two-sided Wilcoxon test for pairwise comparisons). c CCA analysis of prokaryotic community structures of marine sediments and associated environmental factors. The relative abundances of rpS3 sequences from different metagenomes were used for the CCA analysis, along with environmental factors. In the box plot (a, b), center lines indicate median values. The lower and upper bounds represent 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The lower/upper whiskers represent minima/maxima no further than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the hinge, and the points falling outside of the whiskers represent the outliers. SCS_S South China Sea slope; SCS_B South China Sea basin; BS Bashi Channel; MTS Mariana Trench slope; MTCD Challenger Deep of Mariana Trench. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
