Figure 8. Potential aerobic and/or anaerobic degradation networks of alkanes and aromatics via di- and trihydroxylated intermediates in the investigated communities in the BM058 and OV011 sites within the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

The color code used for the respective pathways is shown. Confidence greater than 90% as indicated in Supplementary Table S5. For details about the graphical representation of the network, the thickness of the lines and the codes for the chemical species, see the legend to Fig. 3.
