Figure 3: — Annual cumulative growth of databases in terms of bacterial/archaeal (A) and fungal (B) sequences, and species/subspecies deposited per year. Comparison of the annual cumulative growth of bacterial/archaeal (C) and fungal (D) genomes compared to simulations of Moore's law. The plot is in logarithmic scale. Three databases were compared for 16S rRNA gene sequences: RDP (blue), SILVA (orange), and Greengenes (green). Information is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN [34, 35]) website for bacterial and archaeal species, and on the MycoBank database for fungal species [36, 37]. Information about the bacterial, archaeal, and fungal genomes is based on the Genome OnLine Database (GOLD) [38].
