Comparison of the metatranscriptomic profiles for two prokaryotic mRNA enrichment pipelines versus the non-depleted controls. ND - libraries not preceded by mRNA enrichment, ME - libraries prepared with Pipeline ME, RZ - libraries prepared with Pipeline RZ. a NMDS ordination of the calculated Bray-Curtis dissimilarities of the resulting metatranscriptomic profiles (stress value <0.20). b Distribution of the prokaryotic gene transcripts annotated to the different COG categories. c Distribution of the prokaryotic contigs annotated to the different CAZy families (only contigs with e-value <1e−18 and coverage >0.35 have been used). Numbers on the top of each bar pair represent the calculated Spearman correlation coefficient between the two studied mRNA enrichment pipelines and ND control. All levels of significance are <0.001
