Fig. 4. Methanogen and mcr-bearing families detected in this study and previously published work using different analytical techniques.
Where possible, all taxonomic labels have been updated to reflect the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) r89 taxonomy used in our study. Abbreviations denote the following: 16S (shorthand for 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing), FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization), RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism), and qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction). Abbreviated references have been provided and the raw input data used to generate this figure can be found in Supplementary Data 4 on the Open Science Framework (OSF) at 10.17605/OSF.IO/6X5ZC37. Data obtained from (in chronological order):8,15,16,18–20,22,23,35,36,68,117–122. Source Data are provided as a Source Data file.
