Fig. 5: Tripartite network analysis.

Colored circles indicate from left to right: plastic-derived chemical compounds (PDCC) (blue), lignin-derived chemical compounds (LDCC) (yellow), and lignin-catabolizing enzymes (red). Black edges represent SMILES similarity values (based on Tanimoto coefficients) greater than 65%. Red edges connect lignin-derived substrates with enzymes that use them as substrate. The number of genes found in each MAG is indicated in squared brackets.
