Fig. 6

a The portion of the 811 AMGs recovered by DRAM-v that have been experimentally verified, previously reported (known), and previously unreported (putative AMG). b The metabolic assignments of the AMGs, separated into the five major functional categories and subcategories. c Cellulose and xylan (hemicellulose) degradation pathways feeding into methanogenesis, as previously reported7. Blue arrows denote genes in the pathways were detected in viral genomes, and gray denotes that no genes were detected. For each pathway step, the number of AMGs is shown in blue text, and the number of vOTUs encoding those AMGs is shown in red text. d The distribution of glycoside hydrolase (GH) families carried by vOTUs that can degrade cellulose or hemicellulose, and the number of GHs detected. The dot plot specifies the GH’s function and the cleavage site.
