FIGURE 2.
Composition of the microbiota in the R. flavipes worker hindgut. The genus Treponema and class Endomicrobia dominate the hindguts in all colonies. Taxonomic abundances from hindgut samples of the same colony were averaged together. Taxa present at a sequence abundance of 1% or higher are shown. Letters before the taxonomic name represent the taxonomic level at which that organism was identified (d-domain, c-class, f-family, o-order, g-genus).
