Metabolic potential of Woesearchaeota in nitrogen cycling. Colorful nodes indicate the corresponding woesearchaeotal subgroups that might hold the metabolic function of the corresponding pathways. Only genes detected are listed for the corresponding pathways. Dash lines indicate the pathways that are not detected in any woesearchaeotal subgroups based on the current genomic information available, whereas the solid lines indicate the pathways that might occur. The two arrows outside the chart indicate the start of the pathways that take place under anoxic or oxic condition.
