Statistics of the identified phageome in the samples. a Venn diagram showing the numbers of the large phage scaffolds identified by the three strategies. b Length range of the genomes of siphophages, myophages, podophages, and the identified large phage scaffolds. c The percentage of phage families identified by the large phage scaffolds. d Rarefaction curves of the phageome, based on the number of the identified large phage scaffolds (i), the number of ENA genomes with a high breadth of coverage in the metagenomes (ii), and the number of defined pOTUs in the metagenomes (iii)
