Ranked species by the number of upregulated putative virulence factors in the metatranscriptome. Putative virulence factors were identified by alignment of the protein sequences from the different genomes against the Virulence Factors of Pathogenic Bacteria Database as described in the Materials and methods section. Number in the graph are the absolute number of hits for the different species for the putative virulence factors identified. In red are the members of the ‘red-complex.'
