Figure 1.
Distribution of the DNA in cellulose and urea gradients, in larvae and adults. Line chart shows the percentages of total gradient DNA contained in each fraction of control gradient (black line, full markers) and isotopically labeled gradient (gray line, empty markers). Density ranges constituting each pooled fraction are indicated in blue (upper fraction), yellow (medium fraction in cellulose gradients, upper medium fraction in urea gradients), orange (lower medium fraction in urea gradients), and red (lower fraction). Numbers above the line chart show the percentages of total gradient 16S rRNA gene copy number contained in each pooled fraction of control gradient (black square) and labeled gradient (gray square).
