a genome-inferred model and corresponding gene expression patterns for hexadecane degradation in Ca. Melinoarchaeum fermentans sp. The steps involving substrate activation (red arrows), β-oxidation (blue arrows), Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (yellow arrows) and energy conservation (black arrows). The non-confirmed steps for transform hexadecyl-CoM to hexadecanoate are indicated in dot line. b genome-inferred model and corresponding gene expression patterns for hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis of genus Methanothermobacter; c genome-inferred model and corresponding gene expression patterns for acetoclastic methanogenesis of Methanothrix. The names of genes not found in the genome were shown in gray font. Fdred, reduced ferredoxins; Fdox, oxidized ferredoxins. Squares indicate different gene transcription levels. List of related genes and gene transcription levels was showed in Supplementary Data 4.
