Application of Universal Stress Proteins in Probing the Dynamics of Potent Degraders in Complex Terephthalate Metagenome

Figure 4

Dynamic of specie population from both metagenomes. The wastewater community is blue, and activated sludge population is red. The thickness of the black highlighting is logarithmically proportional to the significance. The following bacteria taxa were present only in the activated sludge Micromonosporaceae, Streptomyces, Cyanothece sp. PCC 7822, Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius, Bacillus halodurans, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactococcus garvieae, Brucellaceae, Ralstonia solanacearum, Verminephrobacter eiseniae, Azoarcus, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, and Francisella tularensis. The Archaea species Methanothermus fervidus and Methanocorpusculum labreanum were not also represented in the highly toxic wastewater.
