PRMT value for a KEGG compound in the EMM. A
correlation close to one indicates that when a
compound is present in the environment, PRMT
predicts that the enzymes involved in its synthesis
are present. A correlation close to -1 indicates that
when a compound is present in the environment,
PRMT predicts that the enzymatic pathways relevant
for its catabolism are present. A PCC close to zero
suggests that there is no relationship between the
environmental presence of a compound and its
calculated PRMT. To estimate how well paired
parameter measurements and PRMT values
correlated was generated, metabolome PCC scores
between a measured parameter and every compound
PRMT values in an EMM was calculated. The
average and standard deviation for all metabolome
PCC scores was calculated. A correlation between a
measured oceanographic parameter and its paired is
considered successful if the PCC score was less than
the average minus one standard deviation for
metabolome PCC scores, or if the PCC score was
greater than the average plus the standard deviation
of metabolome PCC scores.
