a

The metagenomic library was prepared with DNA extracted from samples Prior wet-up, and the metatranscriptomic libraries were prepared with RNA extracted 18 h (night time) or 25.5 h (day time) after wet-up.

b

RNA used for library preparation. The libraries were prepared with total cDNA (Total RNA) or Double Strand Specific Nuclease (DSN) treated cDNA to reduce the influence of dominant organisms (DSN treated).

c

BDL, below detection limit.
