Fig. 8: Comparison of CAZyme gene family transcription by selected MAGs across the four metatranscriptome samples.

The ten MAGs that exhibited the highest CAZyme transcription values in each sample were selected. Within each of those MAGs, only CAZyme gene families with transcription values higher than ribosomal proteins were retained. To determine the proportion of transcription at the gene family level, we mapped all transcripts identified as CAZymes at the community level to MAG predicted genes. Presented here is the proportion of transcripts of each gene family associated with the selected MAGs – proportion of sample total transcription for that gene family.
