From: Potential for hydrogen-oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic and diazotrophic populations to initiate biofilm formation in oligotrophic, deep terrestrial subsurface waters

Fig. 3

Model of biofilm formation derived from gene assignments from the MAGs. Group A is suggested to have chemotaxis, motility using a flagellum, and production of EPS that is subsequently transported outside of the cell. Group B represents MAGs suggested to be able to produce and secrete EPS. Group C shows the MAGs encoding genes suggested to provide motility. Grey arrows indicate that the path was present in both modern marine water and old saline water, and blue arrows in Group B means only modern marine water bins had type I secretion system
