An overview of the sulfur metabolism pathways. (A) Shows the sulfur metabolism pathway abundances in the phyla. (B) Shows the sulfur metabolism pathways abundance in each sample. Since only 44% of the reads mapped back to the UF99 sample, not much information can be inferred from the data belonging to this sample. Sulfate reduction, the most abundant sulfur metabolism reaction, can couple with methane oxidation and facilitate the usage of methane as an energy source.
