Fig. 6: Seawater microbial functions were significantly associated with winter and summer-enriched taxa.

KEGG Modules significantly (p < 0.05) driving the observed functional dissimilarities of enrichment groups (August vs. February) were evaluated with Similarity Percentages (SIMPER). The enrichment of significant KEGG Modules is displayed as log2 fold change. Colour of the bar chart the microbial taxa contributing most to the observed function and the number of Alphaproteobacteria, Thermoplasmatota, and Bacteroidota MAGs95%ANI (in percent) harbouring the individual KEGG Modules is provided between brackets.
