Consensus phylogenetic composition of bacteria taxonomical levels (phylum to species) derived from sequencing the 16s rRNA gene of a metagenomics library of chicken (a) and Guinea fowl (b) GIT contents. The percent of reads belonging to the bacterial taxonomical units from the chicken GIT microbiome is shown.
Fig 3.
Phylogenetic family distribution of microbial profile derived from sequencing the 16s rRNA gene of a metagenomics library of chickens (A) and Guinea fowl (B) GIT contents. The percent of reads in each of the bacterial family from the GIT microbiome is shown. E-value cutoff for 16s rRNA hits for all databases used is 1x10-5 with a minimum length of 50 bp. The BLASTX cutoff for gene tags is 1x 10−5.
