Phylogenetic relationship among isolates of M. mycetomatis visualized my maximum likelihood method, the colors correspond to states on the map. Isolates from patients residing in village A or B are marked with arrows. The phylogenetic tree is not shown in scale.

Read classifications from metagenomic analysis of grains.
Fig 2.
Counts of M. mycetomatis-related reads versus all combined bacterial clade reads.
Grain samples are plotted along the x-axis in order of increasing M. mycetomatis content. Greater abundance of bacterial reads versus M. mycetomatis reads is apparent for the grain samples, Myc_125, Myc_69, and Myc_70.
Fig 3.
Mycetoma grain samples with top 10 highest bacterial count.
In grain samples, Myc_125, Myc_69, and Myc_70, bacterial reads exceeded M. mycetomatis reads, while the latter predominated in the other seven samples shown. Bacterial reads are subdivided into genera where ‘Various soil clades’ include Rhodospirillales, Rhizobiales, and Actinobacteria.
