Fig. 5: Methanomassiliicoccaceae and the co-occurred bacteria in paddy soils.

Relative abundances of Methanomassiliicoccaceae among methanogen community (A), and of bacteria (B) in the paddy soils of FY, QY, TC, SHY, CZ were estimated based on the specific 16S rRNA gene homologous. Six replicates of each paddy soil were used for 16S rRNA gene sequencing and analysis. C A co-occurrence network of the methanogen and bacteria families among five paddy soils (n = 30) was analyzed using WGCNA package. D The correlations between Methanomassiliicoccaceae and Clostridiaceae (light magenta), and Geobacteraceae (dark magenta) among the five paddy soils were analyzed using Spearman analysis method.
