Fig 2.

Bacterial (A and B) and archaeal (C and D) taxonomic compositions of the rumens of Hanwoo steers (two growth stages), Holstein cows, and Korean native goats. The data portray phylum (A and C) and genus (B and D) level 16S rRNA pyrotagged gene sequences found in HGS, HFS, HDC, and KNG (see Table 1 for the treatment key). Sequences were classified using the RDP naive Bayesian rRNA Classifier with an 80% confidence threshold. The minor group in panel C is composed of the genera, each showing a percentage of reads <0.4% of the total reads in all of the samples.
