Global maps depicting presence and relative abundances of: A Ca. Sulfomarinibacter 16S rRNA genes; B Ca. Polarisedimenticola 16S rRNA genes; C Thermoanaerobaculia dsrA/B genes. D Relative abundances of Ca. Sulfomarinibacter and Ca. Polarisedimenticola 16S rRNA genes in sediments from the North Sea that exhibit a permeability gradient (Probandt et al. [136]), and that were reanalysed in this study. Relative abundances presented from clone library-based studies were calculated from all sequences belonging to each study. Relative abundances presented from amplicon sequencing-based studies (Short Read Archives) were derived from the highest relative abundance found in any individual sample per study. As exception was that an average relative abundance of Thermoanaerobaculia dsrB was calculated from all dsrB sequences from the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico study (23 surface sediment samples) [147]. List of studies/datasets used are listed 10.6084/m9.figshare.14369657.v1.
