Fig. 2

Seven high-quality MAGs (completeness >90% and contamination <10%) of SRMs were included in the analysis. For comparison, the complete genomes of one aerobic acidobacterial species (i.e., Terracidiphilus gabretensis S55, non-SRM), Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (an oxygen-tolerant cultured model SRM), and Desulfococcus multivorans DSM 2059 (an oxygen-sensitive cultured model SRM) were chosen. The names of acidobacterial genomes are in blue. The 10 most abundant glycoside hydrolase families across the genomes are shown. Those hydrogenase subgroups that are known to be involved in sulfate reduction or to be oxygen tolerant are listed. MCP methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein, BCP bacterioferritin comigratory protein, Cbo cytochrome bd oxygen reductase, Cco cytochrome c oxidase, CcPx cytochrome c peroxidase, SOD superoxide dismutase, CysK cysteine synthase, GPX glutathione peroxidase, NPX NADH peroxidase, ROO rubredoxin-oxygen oxidoreductase, SOR superoxide reductase, TPX thioredoxin peroxidase. Additional details are presented in Supplementary Tables 3–8.
