Extended Data Fig. 3: Microbial biogeography and metagenomic provinces (MPs).
From: Global marine microbial diversity and its potential in bioprospecting
a, Microbial community composition of samples from different depths. b, Distribution of MPs in the UMAP dimensionality reduction space. Different colors indicate different MPs. The identifier of each MP is labeled at the center of the cluster. c, Alluvial diagram showing geographic groupings of MPs only comprising of seawater samples. Major categories of climate zones are shown on the left stratum and designated by the following acronyms: “NP” stands for “North Polar”, “NT” for “North Temperate”, “T” for “Tropical”, “ST” for “South Temperate” and “SP” for “South Polar”. Color scheme for MP flows is identical to b. d, The number (the middle heatmap) and fraction of MAGs encoding Cas operon (the upper part) or ARG (the lower part) in metagenomic provinces represent various marine ecosystems.
