a

Genera shared in all adults from Roeselers, et al. are listed with corresponding genera (or family where genus was ambiguous) from this study. No attempt is made to relate the single core operational taxonomic unit (OTU) from Roeselers, et al. with only a phylum-level assignment.

b

Isolated strains with newly sequenced genomes that belong within a listed taxonomic group. Some strains are listed more than once where they may fall within more than one taxonomic grouping that could not be confidently classified to finer levels with short Illumina reads.

c

Isolated strains which were identified as discriminatory for a given age class are highlighted in bold (larval), italics (juvenile) or underlined (adult).

d

'All intestines' includes the two parent samples as well as the larval, juvenile and adult intestines from their offspring, listed to the right.

e

Percentages are derived from samples rarefied to 4250 sequences per sample.
