Profiles of differentially abundant proteins of key MAGs constituting jelly-OM degrading consortium. Top panels: Gene: the total gene profile of each MAG: genes encoding peptidases are in yellow, genes encoding transporters in blue, the rest is shown in grey. The false discovery rate (FDR) of log2 transformed fold-change (Log2FC) of all proteins per MAG after jelly-OM amendments during the late exponential (E2_FDR) and decay (E1_FDR) phase, FDR < 0.05 is highlighted using (*). Log2FC of individual proteins during late exponential (black dots) and decay phase (red dots) is presented. In the heatmap, jellyfish treatments are highlighted as bars in blue, in orange the control treatments, late exponential phase in dark blue (E2), and decay phase in green (E1). Bottom panels: Numbers of differentially abundant proteins for which relative abundance increased (up) or decreased (down) exclusively during late exponential (E2) and/or decay phase (E1) and/or throughout the jelly-OM degradation process are also presented as Venn diagrams. Only one of the Pseudoalteromonas MAGs is depicted, for other with almost identical pattern see Additional File 3 Fig. S3. For details see Additional File 2: Table S9
