4.4.2. Assimilatory sulphate reduction (ASR)
A relative abundance of genera like Synechococcus and the Deltaproteobacterial family (unclassified genera in Desulfovibrionaceae), Rhodobacteriaceae and Flavobacterium (Supplementary File S2) was observed in CAB of Temora spp. and this might be responsible for the ASR pathway, as these genera are known to have ferredoxin-sulfite reductase activity (Supplementary File-S2).
