Fig. 4 — Hidden diversity of giant viruses in bulk metagenomes. a Total number of major capsid proteins (MCPs) found in reference nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) genomes, metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs), or recovered from bulk metagenomes on contigs >1 kb and contigs <1 kb (dark gray), colored by taxonomy. b Size and cover of bulk metagenome contigs containing MCP genes, either from the unbinned fraction (filled blue circles) or the MAGs (filled pink circles). c Phylogenetic tree of the MCPs of NCLDV. Branches are color-coded based on taxonomic origin of MCPs inferred by relationship in the tree to MCPs of known reference NCLDV. MCPs of novel giant viruses from this study which are not members of the Mimiviridae are indicated in red. Branches labeled with a circle represent novel MCP from MAGs generated in this study while stars indicate MCPs recovered from the unassembled fraction (contigs >1 kb) of bulk-metagenomes. Circles and stars are filled in color if taxonomy could be assigned based on the tree and in black if it was not possible to assign taxonomy
