Identification of carbon assimilation patterns using inverse labeling of nucleic acid-SIP with methanic sediments from the Helgoland mud area. Relative abundance of 16S rRNA gene sequences of ANME-1 in total archaea and Spirochaetaceae in total bacteria from RNA-SIP gradient fractions (a), and Bathy-8 (percentage in archaea) and autotrophs Thiohalomonas (percentage in bacteria) from DNA-SIP gradient fractions (b). Densities from the heavy fractions of RNA- and DNA-SIP were marked in bold. DIC, dissolved inorganic carbon, i.e., bicarbonate; Lep, lepidocrocite. OTU1, OTU2, and OTU3 represent the most abundant operational taxonomic units for the individual microbe in b and c for each taxon (ANME-1, Spirochaetaceae, Bathy-8, and Thiohalomonas), respectively
