Distribution patterns and driving factors of functional genes among different lakes. (A) Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of VB12 functional genes based on the Bray-Curtis distances. The significance of the differential distribution was statistically tested by adonis. (B) Association analysis between VB12 functional genes and environmental factors (Spearman’s, ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05).
