a–i Distribution MAGs (bins) and matched OTUs within the water column. To match OTUs with MAGs, the MAG distribution (red) had to align with both the amplicon OTU (aOTU; black) and metagenomic OTU (mOTU; gray) distributions of the same sequence. From the most abundant OTUs, these OTUs matched the MAGs with a similar distribution and classification. The MAG characteristics, including similarity to cultured microorganisms with the same characteristic and presence of the genes in the MAG, support the role of these OTUs in the modeled process in the lake
