From: Charting the complexity of the activated sludge microbiome through a hybrid sequencing strategy
Core metabolic potential (carbon and nitrogen) associated with the functionality of wastewater treatment plants in the activated sludge microbiome. a, b Carbon and nitrogen cycles in activated sludge. Pathways with no genomes identified are marked by dashed lines. c MAGs involved in the high-modularity denitrification process. The numbers and percentages represent the counts of recovered MAGs presumably capable of such reaction and their total relative abundance in the activated sludge microbial community, respectively. All the directions of the denitrification transformation go from left to right
