Fig. 5From: Water mass age structures the auxiliary metabolic gene content of free-living and particle-attached deep ocean viral communitiesAssociations between deep ocean viral communities and AOU. Scatter plots depict the association between AOU (x-axis) and the tested variable (y-axis). The blue line depicts the best fit for linear regression models with shaded areas depicting the standard error. A Association between viral absolute abundance and AOU. B Association between virus-to-prokaryote ratio (VPR) and AOU. C Association between relative abundance of energy metabolism AMGs and AOU in FL and PA samples. D Association between relative abundance of oxidative phosphorylation AMGs and AOU in FL and PA samples. Sample MP0262 was excluded from this analysis as it displayed extremely high RPKM values, not in line with those observed in any other samplesBack to article page
