Functions involved in butyrate production from pyruvate or acetyl-coA in relation to methane yield. Schematic overview of functions involved in butyrate production (a). Green boxes indicate that related genes were chosen predictors of methane yield with negative correlation based on sPLS analysis of metatranscriptome data. Bar chart showing mean read counts (normalised to RPM) in high (orange) and low (green) metagenome (genes) and metatranscriptome (transcripts) data (b). Mean read count number (RPM) for butyrate production functions based on transcript per gene for low (green) and high (orange) methane yield samples (c). *P ≤ 0.05 based on WRS. Error bars denote standard deviations
