Fig. 4: Predicted aerobic aromatic degradation pathways, dye-depolymerizing peroxidases (Dyps) and laccase-like multi-copper oxidases (LMCOs) in 13C-DHP lignin enriched MAGs and select reference genomes.

Phylogeny of MAGs as in Figs. 2 and 3. Aromatic degradation pathway genes were annotated using profile HMMs for KEGG orthologs (KO) with e < 0.01 and HMM scores above KO-specific thresholds. Syringate O-demethylase (LigM) orthologs annotated using the TreeSAPP reference package are shown with 50% opacity (i.e., light pink). Individual orders containing enriched MAGs are highlighted. H4F Tetrahydrofolate, PCA Protocatechuic acid, HB Hydroxybenzoate, BKA beta-ketoadipate.
