Extended Data Fig. 5: Normalized prokaryotic activity rates.
From: Distinct contributions of suspended and sinking prokaryotes to mesopelagic carbon budget
Rates normalized by (A) the prokaryotic cell abundance and (B) the organic carbon content. Each boxplot includes data pooled from all sampled stations and depths (n = 20). Overlayed boxplots indicate the interquartile range (boxes), median (central line), and whiskers extending to 1.5×IQR. Statistically significant differences are indicated with asterisks (two-sided Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney statistical: **** p ≤ 0.0001; ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05; Non-significative-NS).
