Fig. 7: Mean abundance of 25 selected MAGs per oceanographic basin and size fraction, represented as metagenomic RPKGs (reads per genomic kilobase and metagenomic gigabase).

Fig. 7

The upper half-tile represents RPKGs from the particle-attached size fraction metagenomes (0.8–20 µm) and the bottom half-tile represents RPKGs from the free-living size fraction metagenomes (0.2–0.8 µm). White represents the absence of the MAG in the metagenomic sample. MAGs are arranged based on their assigned metabolic strategy (chemolithoautotrophs, heterotrophs, and mixotrophs), and specific metabolic pathways confirmed in previous analyses are prepended to each MAG’s ID following color codes from Fig. 6 (blue for nitrogen metabolism, red for sulfur metabolism; AOA ammonia-oxidizing archaea, SOB sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, NCDs non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs, NOB nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, AOB ammonia-oxidizing bacteria). Phylogenomic taxonomic assignation of MAGs is presented at the top of the figure.
