Additional file 7: of Metaproteome analysis reveals that syntrophy, competition, and phage-host interaction shape microbial communities in biogas plants

Table S5. Abundance of main microbial families, host families of phages as well as the abundance of microbial immune response as represented by CRISPR proteins. Identified microbial metaproteins, phage metaprotein and CRISPR metaproteins were grouped by their (host) families and their spectral counts are shown as averages with the associated standard deviation. In contrast to the calculation of the phage abundance in Fig. 2, Additional file 12 this calculation considers also metaproteins that were assigned on root level, only. These metaprotein were assigned to phages based on their function. The abundance of the microbial families was normalized to the total number of identified microbial spectra. For the abundance of phages metaproteins and CRISPR metaproteins the spectral counts were normalized to the spectral counts of the corresponding microbial families. For a better overview the table was divided in A.) Bacterial families, B.) Archaeal families, C.) Others and D.) Overall. The detailed assignment can be found in Additional file 6: Table S4. F: taxonomic family; P: phage; C: CRISPR proteins. Differences between the abundances of phages assigned to archaea and to bacteria were validated by student’s t-test, showing with a p-value
