Number of Census of Deep Life (CoDL) metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) of the total 286 analyzed that contain each gene or complex of interest. Pink bars indicate genes involved in the dissimilation of organic sulfur. Blue bars indicate genes involved in taurine transformations. Green bars indicate genes involved in the transformation of dimethylsulfide, dimethylsulfoxide, or dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMS(O)(P)). Yellow bars indicate genes involved in the production and utilization of cysteine and methionine. The inset map depicts sample locations (black dots) of the 54 CoDL samples assembled into MAGs. See Supplementary Data S1 for gene abbreviations and Supplementary Data S9 for all gene hits with METABOLIC.
