Fig. 3: Metabolic map of US. pluma.

Metabolic scheme and gene transcription levels of genes involved in aerobic chemolithoautotrophy of US. pluma MAG-1. The average gene expression of Aurora and Polaris plumes is reported as TPM. For enzymes with multiple subunits, the transcription of the catalytic subunit is reported. Steps with more than one arrow indicate that several operons encoding different enzymes catalysing that reaction are present in the genome.
