RNA:DNA ratio for OTUs detected plotted against the relative abundance of that OTU in the DNA component of the microbiome. Each point represents an OTU colored at the class taxonomic level. RNA:DNA ratio calculated based on the relative abundances of that particular OTU in their respective RNA and DNA communities. Horizontal dotted black line represents a ratio of 1. Rare taxa based in the DNA-based communities showed a higher metabolic potential
