FIG 1.

Relative abundances of the most prevalent bacterial phyla in the gut microbiota of different host groups. O, other insects; C, cockroaches; L, lower termites; M, T, and N, the higher termites Macrotermitinae, Termitinae, and Nasutitermitinae, respectively. Cryptocercidae and Apicotermitinae were not included because each group was represented by only a single species. The bars and horizontal lines show the ranges and median numbers of sequence reads assigned to the respective phyla. Detailed results for all bacterial phyla and individual host species are shown in Fig. S1 in the supplemental material.
