FIGURE 5.
A subset of functional modules involved in substrate degradation and utilization obtained from single particles (3–4 individual particles pooled) and pooled lake particles transcriptomes (A) The lower stacked bars represent individual samples while the upper ones the sequencing results of poled RNA from the pair of sample below. The shown modules are Level-3 MG-RAST subsystem hierarchy. Venn diagrams (B) show the overlap between all the recognized modules including the subset in panel A, between single particle samples (R1–R4) and pooled RNA extracts (R1 + R2 or R3 + R4). The number of modules identified in the transcriptome of each sample is given in each circle of the diagram. The shading color of the text in the legend of the Venn diagram depicts the color of the individual sample circles. The color of squares represents the overlapping between the different samples.
