Black Sea sampling, physicochemical parameters and raw reads analysis. a A map of the Black Sea basin showing the red circle-coded sampling points of this study. b Bar plot showing the different environmental parameters and physicochemical profiles measured. Each environmental measurement is color-coded. c Black Sea phylum level 16S rRNA gene taxonomic classification assessed with unassembled reads individually mapped into SILVA138 database. d Metabolic profiles assessed with abundance values obtained from reads and SEED subsystems and pathways, pecific proteins/genes or microbial systems. A blue row Z-score scale was applied to statistically assess abundance values differing between samples
