Composition of microeukaryotic community, and metabolic functions of the dominant fungal groups in the Challenger Deep sediment habitat. A The relative sequence abundance of different eukaryotic groups within total eukaryotes. B Phylogenetic relationship of major fungal groups identified in the hadal habitat, and the profiles of a carbohydrate-active enzyme family (CAZymes) and peptidase family genes. The numbers of genes detected are denoted by shade intensity. Abbreviations: GH, glycosidases or glycosyl hydrolases; PL, polysaccharide lyases; CE, carbohydrate esterases; GT, glycosyltransferases; AA, auxiliary activities; CBM, carbohydrate-binding modules. C Metabolic potentials of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and iron metabolism shown for the six dominant fungal groups. The presence of genes within the metabolic pathways is denoted for each group by the fan areas with color for the corresponding phylum. Gene symbols and metabolites are labeled with the KEGG designation (refer to Additional file 1: Table S8 for details).
