A Predicted phage-host associations. Left: the viral contigs that can match to host. Different colors present different taxonomic classification at the family level. Middle: the number of phage-host pairings in different samples. Right: the distribution of bacterial hosts at the phylum level. The bar chart below counts the number of pairings in each sample, and the classification of the different hosts in the bar is consistent with the information of the hosts on the right. B Identification of antiviral defense systems in bacteria. Left: taxonomic classification of defense systems carrying bacteria at the phylum level. Middle: the number of defense systems in different samples. Right: the subtype and the defense mechanisms of the defense system. The bar charts below show the number of antiviral defence systems. C The phylogenetic tree of the phage host and the bacteria that carry the antiviral defense system. D The expression abundance of defense system genes in metatranscriptomes are presented by the abundance relative to control. E Phage-to-bacterium ratio in earthworm intestines at different concentrations of BaP.
