1. Cyanophage-host interactions from metatranscriptomic data.
Cyanophage-host interactions from metatranscriptomic data. (A) Major cyanophage populations determined from transcriptomic expression values (relative abundance data represent percentages of reads mapped to ORFs annotated as specific species per site and size class). BP, Baltic Proper. (B) Cyanophage transcript relative abundance (x axis; percent cyanophage per site) compared to cyanobacteria numbers found using phylogenetic placement on a bacterial reference tree (y axis; predicted number of cyanobacteria present in sample). (C) Cyanophage transcript relative abundance (x axis) and Cyanobacteria diversity estimates (standardized effect size mean pairwise distance [sesMPD]) derived from phylogenetic tree placement. Taxonomic assignment of cyanophage transcript sequences using similarity is shown in pie charts, and the legend is given in the upper right quadrant. Pie charts are shown for sites with low sesMPD and correspond to those in panel B.
