Extended Data Fig. 6: Anaerobic degradation of amino acids and other metabolites.
From: Multi-omics reveals nitrogen dynamics associated with soil microbial blooms during snowmelt
Small molecule N metabolites detected by 1H-NMR detected suggestive of anaerobic degradation of amino acids (see Fig. 5a in the main text). Data were metabolite concentrations for each field replicate on each sampling date (March n = 9; May n = 15; June n = 15; Sept n = 6). The lower and upper hinges of the boxplots (panel b) represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively, and the center line is the median. Whiskers extend from the median by 1.5x the interquartile range. Data points laying outside whiskers represent outliers. Differences in metabolite concentrations across sampling dates was tested by non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis. Pairwise differences among dates were determined using Dunn’s test and different lower case letters represent statistical differences among pairwise comparisons (Dunn’s test adjusted P ≤ 0.05). Data were combined across soil depths in all panels.
