A Prochlorococcus Pro-eCAG_012 putatively involved in phosphonate transport. B Prochlorococcus Pro-eCAG_013, involved in phosphonate/phosphite uptake and assimilation and phosphonate C-P bond cleavage. C The genomic region encompassing both phnC2-D2-E2-E3 and ptxABDC-phnYZ specific to P. marinus RS01. The size of the circle is proportional to relative abundance of Prochlorococcus as estimated based on the single-copy core gene petB and this gene was also used to estimate the relative abundance of other genes in the population. Black dots represent Tara Oceans stations for which Prochlorococcus read abundance was too low to reach the threshold limit.
