Genome-sequenced degree of prokaryotic biomes. a Genome-sequenced proportion of cells. b Genome-sequenced proportion of taxa. OTUs share 100% identities with the sequenced genomes. Based on the analysis of 10,000 EMP samples, each gray point represents a single sample. For the box plots, the middle line indicates the median, the box represents the 25th–75th percentiles, and the error bar indicates the 10th–90th percentiles of observations. Environment types were classified by EMPO; red represents host associated and green represents free living
