Fig. 4

Functional network showing connections between different functions in the microbial community. Nodes represent individual steps in biogeochemical cycles; edges connecting two given nodes represent the functional connections between nodes, which are enabled by organisms that can conduct both biogeochemical processes/steps. The size of the node was depicted according to the degree (number of connections to each node). The thickness of the edge was depicted according to the average gene coverage values of the two connected biogeochemical cycling steps—for example, thiosulfate oxidation and organic carbon oxidation. The color of the edges was assigned based on the taxonomy of the represented genome. The deep-sea hydrothermal vent dataset was used for these analyses
