Fig. 6: Effects of viral auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) on host metabolism.

From: Diversity and potential host-interactions of viruses inhabiting deep-sea seamount sediments

Fig. 6

a Relative abundance of viral AMGs obtained from virome or metagenome dataset in different seamount sediment samples. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) metabolic categories are colored according to the legend. b Metabolic linkage of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAG) and viral AMGs. Dashed lines indicate the inferred host-virus infection relationships. For MAG (left), the presence and absence of the homologs of viral AMGs in the MAG are indicated in red and white, respectively. The asterisk indicates the AMG that is carried by the corresponding virus. For viruses (right), the genomic context of AMG (red) is shown. c The compensation of host sulfur cycle (bin.117) by the virus-encoded cysH gene. Viral AMG and virus-encoded reactions are marked in red. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
