The average abundance of the carbon fixation marker genes at different depths (left). prkB: phosphoribulokinase, K00855; rbcL: ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase large chain, K01601; rbcS: ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase small chain, K01602; aclA: ATP-citrate lyase alpha-subunit, K15230; aclB: ATP-citrate lyase beta-subunit, K152301; acsA: anaerobic carbon-monoxide dehydrogenase, K00198; acsB: acetyl-CoA synthase, K14138; 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase: K15016; 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase: K14534; 3-hydroxypropionate dehydrogenase: K15039; malonyl-CoA reductase: K14468; malyl-CoA/(S)-citramalyl-CoA lyase: K08691; 3-methylfumaryl-CoA hydratase: K09709; 2-methylfumaryl-CoA isomerase: K14470. The orange marked genes mean deletion in all samples. The top four affiliated groups containing them shown in the heat map (right) in depth-profiled samples determined by metagenomic analysis. F free-living, P particle-associated.
