Fig. 5: High-affinity phosphate transporters common in glycan-utilizing Akkermansiaceae reveal that they adapt to environments with nM concentration of phosphate.

The global abundance of V_227 in the ocean. Coverage depth (left) and breadth (middle) in the TARA dataset (n = 157) and Helgoland spring bloom dataset (n = 68). Area below the dashed line indicates very low abundance in the dataset. Boxplot shows the median (centre), the 25th and 75th percentiles (bounds of box), and the minimum and maximum values (whiskers). Phylogenetic tree (right) based on 120 conserved genes from 246 selected Akkermansiaceae genomes. Parentheses show number of culturable and number of total samples. The blue colour indicates that the genome contains the high-affinity phosphate transport system (PstSABC), or the number of genomes containing this PstSABC system on each clade. Verrucomicrobiaceae bacterium 227 (V_227) is the only culturable bacterium in the genus SW10.
