From: Microeukaryotic gut parasites in wastewater treatment plants: diversity, activity, and removal
Detection of parasitic protists in wastewater: abundance versus activity. Boxplots showing, for selected taxa, the 25 % and 75 % percentiles and medians of the relative abundance of protist reads in metagenomic data (rDNA, green) and metatranscriptomic data (rRNA, yellow), in samples from the inflow compartment (at N=10 WWTP locations). Significant differences between the rDNA and rRNA abundances are indicated with asterisks (sign test, *p< 0.05, **p< 0.01, ***p< 0.001). The gray lines link the rDNA and rRNA sample pairs from the same location
