Clustering of the jelly-OM degrading community metaproteomes at orthologous groups level. A NMDS of proteins clustered at orthologous groups (OG) level detected in the endo- and exo-metaproteomes of jelly-OM degrading microbial communities (J) and in the control (C) treatments in the late exponential and decay growth phase. B,C Clusters of orthologous groups (COG categories) enriched in jelly-OM over control treatments during late exponential (B) and decay (C) phase of bacterial growth. The taxonomic origin of proteins clustered per COG category is shown. Only COG categories representing at least 1% relative abundance of all proteins detected in at least one sample are depicted. Size of a circle corresponds to relative abundance of specific COG category
