a Distribution of modules of the 0.2–3 µm size fraction, encompassing free-living prokaryotes, between 62°S and 47°N in the Atlantic and between 52°S and 59°N in the Pacific Ocean in the upper (20 m-DCM) and lower epipelagic (DCM-200 m). For the color code see e. b Distribution of modules of the 3–8 µm size fraction encompassing particle-associated prokaryotes. c Distribution of modules of the >8 µm size fraction encompassing particle-associated prokaryotes. d Phylogenetic distance based on weighted UniFrac analysis of modules 1 to 10. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
