Compositional plot based on metagenomes of ten faecal samples from five residents using mOTUs (a) and average nucleotide identity between assembled B. longum strains and reference sequences (b). Relative abundance is shown of the twenty most abundant bacterial species in all samples and different bacterial species are indicated by colours. ‘Other’ is the sum of the relative abundance of all species not listed in the colour key. Numbers on the x-axis indicate the resident number and study time point. Average nucleotide identity of B. longum strains as computed by pyANI. The sequence labelled ‘NC_004307_REP’ in B is the representative genome on GenBank; the sequence with ‘NC_004943_PLAS’ is its plasmid. The sequence with ‘NC_011593_REF’ is the B. longum reference genome
