a Metagenomic recruitment along two depth profiles of Lake Baikal, collected during summer and winter seasons. Only MAGs retrieved from Lake Baikal and from a study that combined 17 different freshwater samples [12] that recruited at least 3 three reads per kilobase of genome per gigabase of metagenome (RPKGs) at 95% identity over 70% of their genome length in any of the samples are shown in the figure. The groups obtained from the binning of CCS5 reads (Baikalibacteria) are highlighted in green. b Boxplot of the metagenomic recruitment (in RPKGs, 95% identity) for each one of the CCS5 reads belonging to the four Baikalibacteria bins against two datasets: Lake Baikal metagenomes (blue boxes) and the compendium of 17 different freshwater samples (orange boxes) [12]. For each CCS5 read in a given dataset, only the highest recruitment value was taken into account. rRNA genes were masked for the recruitment
