Genomic comparison of Myxococcota MAGs versus Myxococcota type species for CAZyme gene content and genome characteristics. Heatmap rows indicate the number of gene homologs (red-blue color scale) detected per CAZy family, and columns indicate the associated MAGs. Atom percent excess 13C (APE-13C) estimated by qSIP is presented in the top row (yellow-purple-black color scale). Columns and rows were grouped using one-dimensional hierarchical clustering based on genomic content. CAZy families displayed had significantly more or less genes detected in the Fen-1088 MAGs compared to the rest of our Myxococcota MAGs (Student’s t test, p <0.05); full CAZy results for the MAGs are available in Supplemental Table S6. Bar graphs indicate genome %GC content and genome size (Mbp), as well as number of protease, glycoside hydrolase, and polysaccharide lyase gene homologs per genome. The type species (Labilithrix luteola, Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans 2CP-1, Nannocystis exedens, Haliangium ochraceum DSM 14365, Myxococcus xanthus, Archangium gephyra, Sorangium cellulosum B) were clustered with our MAGs and 25 other Myxococcota type species (Supplemental Figure S3); a single type species genome was selected the represent each cluster for this figure. Acronyms: GH = glycoside hydrolase; PL = polysaccharide lyase; CBM = carbohydrate binding module; GT = glycosyltransferase; AA = auxiliary activity
