NMDS panels showing the beta diversity (Bray-Curtis dissimilarity) of the functional genes in all reads of the metagenomes within the top 10 KEGG Pathways (based on the average CPM-values for all 59 stations). The metabolic pathways that attributed the highest number of DNA sequences in the Baltic Sea sediments samples are, in order: A ABC transporters, B two-component system, C glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, D purine metabolism, E aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, F replication and repair, G oxidative phosphorylation, H glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, I quorum sensing, J and the citrate cycle (TCA cycle). The PERMANOVA results are based on testing all regions together and shows the pseudo-F values
