Fig. 4. Depth profiles of microbial taxa relative abundances in the Amberjack water column.

Fig. 4

A May 2019, major taxa (10–50% of the community), B May 2019, minor taxa (1–12% of the community), C September 2019, major taxa, D September 2019, minor taxa. Sampled depths are represented by points on each line. Overall patterns were consistent between the 2 months, reflecting the separation of microbial communities by depth grouping. Notably, Nitrosopumilus sp. and Woesearchaeota dominated the middle and deep water column, respectively. The sulfur-oxidizing SUP05 clade increased continuously with depth in May but decreased in relative abundance below 70 m in September, while Arcobacter sp. spiked sharply at 80 m in September.
