Additional file 3: of Relating genomic characteristics to environmental preferences and ubiquity in different microbial taxa

Plots relating the average genome size of every genus to their average number of 16S rRNA genes. All genera are shown, highlighting these associated to particular environments: (A) Host-associated (B) Soil samples. (C) Freshwater samples. (D) Thermal samples (E) Marine samples (.pdf format). The p-values of the Mann-Whitney test applied to the genome size and 16S rRNA gene copy number between the genera associated to a particular environment and the rest are provided in the figures.
