Improvement of metagenomic-SIP relative to conventional metagenomics with respect to MAG bin quality of 13C-labeled genomes. For genome recovery in bins, values greater than zero indicate improvement of metagenomic-SIP relative to conventional metagenomics, while for bin contamination values less than zero indicate improvement of metagenomic-SIP relative to conventional metagenomics (Bonferroni correction, n = 6; **, p-values < 0.01; ***, p-values < 0.001). a and c The difference in the proportion of each labeled genome (n = 100) recovered in a bin and the difference in their proportion bin contamination, respectively, varies between communities that differ in G + C content when sequenced at different depths. b and d The difference in the proportion of each labeled genome (n = 50, 100, 200) recovered in a bin and the difference in their proportion bin contamination, respectively, for low G + C communities with respect to the number of target genomes per sample and for high G + C communities with respect to the position of the BD window
