Seasonal influence on the peak relative abundance of major taxa in Ace Lake. Stacked bar graph depicting the sum of peak relative abundances from each season for abundant OTUs (those with ≥ 1% relative abundance). Note, as the peak relative abundance is shown for each season for each OTU, the bar (which represents the sum of those abundances) exceeds 100% for Chlorobium and Synechococcus. To aid the visualization of the wide range of OTU relative abundance values, the graph has been segregated into three parts with the abundance scale redrawn, and OTUs are arranged in descending order of total abundance; total abundance is the sum of the coverages (contig read depth × contig length) of the contigs of an OTU
