Fig. 6: Balance in prevalence of denitrification gene transcripts shows dominance of initiators at the community level in terrestrial and aquatic biomes.

From: Denitrification is a community trait with partial pathways dominating across microbial genomes and biomes

Fig. 6

a δnos-nir and δnosZI-nosZII normalized per Gbp mRNA sequenced across different biomes. Numbers to the right denote number of metatranscriptomes included in each category. b Mean and 95 % confidence intervals of spearman correlation coefficients between δnos-nir or δnosZI-nosZII and environmental factors in aquatic metatranscriptomes. Coloring follows gold for δnos-nir and red for δnosZI-nosZII as in (a). Circle size and numbers to the right denote the number of studies the effect size is calculated from. Soil samples with root exudate addition are categorized under rhizosphere in (a). Box boundaries represent first and third quartiles, with midline denoting median and whiskers the 1.5 IQR. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
