Fig. 7: P-acquisition vOTU-host linkages and gene transcription profiles of P-acquisition AMGs.

a Pairwise P-acquisition vOTU-host linkages identified in this study. vOTUs are shown on the right-hand side of the panel and colored according to the kinds of P-acquisition AMGs that they encoded, while the hosts are shown on the left-hand side of the panel and colored according to their taxonomy. The number of linkages between individual vOTUs and their hosts are proportional to the sizes of those lines linking them. Detailed information of the P-acquisition vOTU-host linkages is provided in Supplementary Data 17. b Histograms showing the numbers of kinds of P-acquisition AMGs transcribed in individual habitat types. The numbers of the transcribed genes belonging to the four categories of P-acquisition AMGs in each habitat type are also indicated by different colors. c The transcript ratios of phage:host gene pairs related to the four categories of P-acquisition AMGs in individual samples. Each circle in the panel represents a sample and is colored according to its habitat type. RPKM, reads per kilobase per million mapped reads. Detailed information on the public metatranscriptomes used to generate the results in (b) and (c) was provided in Supplementary Data 18, while the numbers of the samples where these P-acquisition AMGs were detected are shown in Supplementary Data 19.
