Fig. 4From: Microbial river-to-sea continuum: gradients in benthic and planktonic diversity, osmoregulation and nutrient cyclingGene and gene expression profiles across the salinity gradient. Line plots showing log10-normalised gene and transcript abundances related to osmoregulation, nutrient acquisition and primary production pathways across the salinity gradient. Genes per category are given in Supplementary Table 9. Asterisks (*) indicate significant correlations between metagenomes and metatranscriptomes (Spearman ρ > 0.5, p < 0.05).
