Supplementary Material 4: Figure 3. Family-level collapsed bacterial communities for fecal and fecal-derived chemostats of all seven fecal samples: Relative abundances of amplicon sequence variants (ASV) that represent bacterial composition were identified by Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA gene sequencing from fecal samples and longitudinal chemostat communities of seven healthy 18-24-month-old participants. ASV relative abundances were collapsed according to highest-likelihood family-level taxanomic classification via BLAST. Alluvial plots show the relative abundance of bacterial families identified on the fecal sample (day 0) and the chemostat culture over time from NS0 (a) and NS1 (b), S2 (c), S3 (d), NS4 (e), S5 (f) and NS6 (g) individuals. Colors represent bacterial families; families are ordered alphabetically by phyla name, then family name. Families appear in each corresponding legend in the same order as in the plot. Families with <1% relative abundance in the samples shown are plotted in grey.
