A Taxonomic profile of the representative viral MAGs reconstructed from the 70 samples included in this analysis (10 controls, 5 for 10 different GC factors, 10 random combinations of 8 factors) collapsed to the class level; (B) Shannon diversity index, per treatment. Thick points represent the median values, and bars indicate standard deviation intervals. Asterisks represent different significance levels obtained after a Two-sided Wilcoxon test comparing control samples with the samples to which GC treatments were applied; * indicate p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001 and **** ≤ 0.0001. 10 Control samples, 5 samples for each individual GC treatment, and 10 8-factor samples were considered in the statistical analyses. Exact p values are provided in Supplementary Table 8. C Principal coordinate analysis based on the taxonomic annotations of the reference viral MAGs. We indicate 8-factor samples not including the salinity treatment (124, 127, 128). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
