From: Analysis of nifH DNA and RNA reveals a disproportionate contribution to nitrogenase activities by rare plankton-associated diazotrophs

Fig. 5

Relationship between nifH RNA and nifH DNA frequencies of the dominant OTUs. The panels show all the 20 most abundant OTUs (a) as well as abundant OTUs accounting for < 10% (b) and < 1% (c) of the abundance in both the DNA and RNA libraries. The dotted line indicates a 1:1 ratio. A deviation from the 1:1 line is expected for OTUs with a notably higher proportion in either the DNA or the RNA library, resulting in a distribution of the dots towards the x or y axis
