FIG 3.

Correlation between genera and KS OBUs in either sandy sediment or seawater (eDNA) samples based on the linear model with P value < 0.001. Species are grouped at the genus level and arranged into the top 10 most abundant orders, and the remaining orders are grouped as “Others.” Each genus is plotted according to the relative taxonomic abundance (16S rRNA V3V4 gene diversity) and assigned with the magnitude of the matched KS domain potential (bubbles). Red triangles represent genera with no KS domain correlations. Classified genera with more than five KS OBUs are shown on the plot.
