3.8. Assimilatory sulphate reduction (ASR)
Based on our analysis, in all the copepod genera, ASR pathway genes were
predominant rather than the dissimilatory sulphate reduction (DSR)
pathway genes. CAB of Temora spp. had a higher number of sulfite
reductase ferredoxin component (Figure S3a), whereas CAB ofCentropages sp. had flavoprotein sulfite reductase gene in high
proportion (Figure S3b).
