Figure 8.
Characteristics of xylose responders (green) and cellulose responders (blue) based on estimated rrn copy number (A), (B), and relative abundance in non-fractionated DNA (C). The estimated rrn copy number of all responders is shown vs. time (A). Kernel density histogram of values shows cellulose responders had higher average than xylose responders indicating higher average atom % 13C in OTU DNA (B). The final panel indicates the rank relative abundance of all OTUs observed in the non-fractionated DNA (C) where rank was determined at day 1 (bold line) and relative abundance for each OTU is indicated for all days by colored lines (see legend). Xylose responders (green ticks) have higher relative abundance in non-fractionated DNA than cellulose responders (blue ticks). All ticks are based on day 1 relative abundance.
