Box Plot from Scientific Research

Metabolic gain per MGS when simulating cellular metabolism either within its native ES or within a community of all five ES. Metabolic gain is the difference in producible metabolites between these two conditions. ES-Bact MGS do significantly increase their metabolic spectrum, when in diverse microbial communities. Colors represent the 5 ESs. P values were calculated with a Kruskal-Wallis test. Abbreviations are as follows: CAZyme, carbohydrate active enzyme; ES, enterosignature; MGS, metagenomic species; PCoA, principal coordinate analysis. See alsoFigure S3.
