A Distribution of total microbial rhodopsin obtained through retinal and B chlorophyll-a quantifications. Black dots indicate the depths of sampling. Total rhodopsin and chlorophyll-a concentrations were calculated by adding the three microbial size fractions of >10 µm, 3–10 µm, and 0.2–3 µm. Months in boldface (March, April, May, June, and July) denote upwelling season. Datapoints inside black open circles indicate the months and depths used for metagenome analysis. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
