From: Rumen metagenome and metatranscriptome analyses of low methane yield sheep reveals a Sharpea-enriched microbiome characterised by lactic acid formation and utilisation

Fig. 4

Functions involved in pyruvate fermentation to propionate via lactate production and utilisation via the acrylate pathway in relation to methane yield. Coloured boxes indicate that related genes were chosen predictors of methane yield with negative correlation based on sPLS analysis of metagenome (blue) or metatranscriptome (green) data. Bar charts show mean read counts (normalised to RPM) in HMY (orange) and LMY (green) metagenome (genes) and metatranscriptome (transcripts) datasets. 1No reference genes for this function were available in the KEGG database; read mappings were performed based on custom database. *P < 0.05 based on WRS. Error bars denote one standard deviation
