Fig. 2: Plots showing genome coverage, predicted growth rates, and Microcoleus protein expression across five timepoints.

a Average relative abundances of the eight dominant MAGs. Microcoleus 1 genome abundance is on a separate y-axis (left) due to higher abundance. Coverage values shown are relative to all the MAGs recovered in the dataset, and for the eight dominant MAGs sum to 62.51% at day 3, 78.61% at day 6, 80.02% at day 9, 72.80% at day 12, and 87.81% at day 19. Error bars = standard errors of means. b Barplot showing predicted replication rates for the same eight MAGs determined using iRep. Yellow circles indicate the average minimum generation time for each MAG determined using growthpred based on codon usage bias. c Close relationship between Microcoleus replication rate and per genome average log-transformed protein expression. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) values are indicated.
