FIG 4.

Transcription patterns of whole pathways and central enzyme complexes involved in the carbon and energy metabolism of Desulfosporosinus sp. MAG SbF1 under in situ-like conditions. In addition, transcription patterns of general stress response proteins are shown. Mean abundance for the native soil (–) and each incubation treatment and time point is shown. Supplemented substrates are indicated by initials, and addition of external sulfate is depicted by −S/+S (columns). Abundance values are normalized variance-stabilized counts x, which were scaled from 0 to 1 for each CDS using the formula [x − min(x)]/max[x − min(x)]. Incompletely assembled genes are indicated by _a, _b, and _c.
