Fig. 4: Functional variation in microbiomes.
From: Engineering natural microbiomes toward enhanced bioremediation by microbiome modeling
a Principal component analysis (PCA) of all the metagenomes based on the KEGG module abundance. P, purple soil; Y, yellow cinnamon soil; R, red soil. 0 and 30 d, samples collected at Days 0 and 30 from treatments of BO&X-1&7D-2, respectively. b Metabolic pathways of BO and DBHB in the microbiomes. The pathways were reconstructed by functional gene annotation. c Abundances of functional genes involved in BO degradation as shown in (b). The data are presented as mean values ± SD (n = 3 biological independent replicates). The significance of differences was assessed using a two-sided Student’s t-test (**P < 0.01; *P < 0.05). d Taxonomic classification of the functional genes involved in BO degradation as shown in b. BO, bromoxynil octanoate; DBHB, 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoate. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
