Relative abundance and metabolic potential of the dominant species. Abundance values, expressed as reads per kilobase of MAG per gigabase of mapped reads (RPKG), were averaged for the top ten abundant MAGs from each dataset that were (likely) the same species (Additional file 5, Additional file 6). Population genomes were ranked by their “salinity preference scores”: those recruiting relatively more from moderate salinity datasets (cold colors) are drawn to the top, from high salinity datasets (warm colors) to the bottom. The metabolic potential derived from functional marker genes (Additional file 7) is depicted by the colored symbols. CBB = Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, DNRA = dissimilatory nitrite reduction to ammonia, fix. = fixation, red. = reduction, ox. = oxidation, dis. = disproportionation
