Fig. 2: Ca. Melinoarchaeum fermentans sp. was abundant in alkane cultures.
From: Thermophilic Hadarchaeota grow on long-chain alkanes in syntrophy with methanogens

a taxonomies of the MAGs in phylum level; Other, including the unclassified MAGs and MAGs with relative abundance <0.5%; Unmapped, including the relative abundance of reads which did not map to MAGs. b the relative abundance of Ca. Melinoarchaeum fermentans DL9YTT1, Methanothermobacter and Methanothrix. The samples for metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing were collected after culturing for 791 days. c the abundance of Ca. Melinoarchaeum determined by Q-PCR of their 16S rRNA genes; the error bars are obtained from triplicate Q-PCR reaction. r1 and r2 represent two replicates.
