Fig. 6: Distribution of genes encoding prokaryotic and eukaryotic DMSP lyases in Tara Oceans datasets OM-RGC-v2 (0.22–3 μm) and MATOU (0.8–20 μm), respectively.
From: DMSOP-cleaving enzymes are diverse and widely distributed in marine microorganisms
a, Relative abundance of eukaryotic Alma genes in 153 of 174 MATOU metagenomes and 174 of 176 metatranscriptomes from SRF water layers (0–10 m) and DCM layers (10–200 m). b, Relative abundance of the nine prokaryotic ddd genes and the DMSP demethylation gene dmdA in OM-RGC-v2 metagenomes and metatranscriptomes from SRF, DCM and MES water layers (200–1,000 m). c, Taxonomic assignment of Alma genes in the MATOU dataset. d, Taxonomic assignment of ddd genes in the OM-RGC-v2 dataset. Letters denote genes or transcripts that are significantly different (P < 0.05) between water layers determined by two-sided Wilcoxon test; a shared letter means no significant differences. Boxplots show median (centre line), upper and lower quartiles (box limits), the interquartile range (whiskers) and outliers (black dots). MetaG, metagenome; MetaT, metatranscriptome.
