FIG 3.
(A and B) Phylogenetic distribution of QC-filtered merged methanogenic reads (∼150 bp) in metagenomic (A) and metatranscriptomic (B) libraries constructed with DNA or mRNA extracted from methanogenic rice paddy soils. (C) Relative abundance of methanogenic and nonmethanogenic archaeal sequences in the metagenomic and metatranscriptomic libraries. These values represent the mean of results obtained from four different software programs (Tables S3A and B): GenomePeek, MG-RAST, BLASTx, and Kraken.
