Assessing phylogenetic information and hydrocarbon degradation pathways of 65 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). a An unrooted phylogenetic tree was reconstructed to explore MAG diversity, with different colors representing various microbial taxonomic orders. Three inner circles indicate CANT-HYD HMM hits, contamination levels, and completeness. b The top 10 MAGs with abundant hydrocarbon degradation genes were selected to elucidate the aerobic alkane degradation pathway. The metabolic pathway of n-Hexadecane was reconstructed, and key enzymes involved in the degradation process were highlighted
