Fig. 4: Thermodynamic modelling of H2 and CO oxidation by marine bacteria.

a,b, The results show the bulk oxidation rates (left) and power yields per cell (right) for CO oxidation (a) (n = 10 (rate) and n = 7 (power) biologically independent samples) and H2 oxidation (b) (n = 7 (rate) and n = 4 (power) biologically independent samples). This analysis was only performed for samples where trace gas oxidation was measurable and cell-specific power was only calculated for samples where prokaryotic cell counts are available. Rates and power are shown on the basis of CO and H2 concentrations at a range of environmentally relevant concentrations. Centre values show medians, boxes show upper and lower quartiles, and whiskers show maximum (upper quartile plus 1.5 times interquartile range) and minimum (lower quartile minus 1.5 times interquartile range) values.
