FIG 5 .

Dynamics and distribution of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) among the members of the rumen microbiome. Circles depict the quantified numbers of CAZyme transcripts (per gram of rumen fluid), summarized with respect to their activity (cellulases, hemicellulases, starch-degrading enzymes, and oligosaccharide hydrolases), separated for the major bacteria and eukarya involved in the breakdown of complex plant material (phylum level and dominant taxon within each phylum). The color code indicates the different cows and the different time points (gray scale of the columns): before feeding (t0) and 1 h (t1), 3 h (t3), and 5 h (t5) after the feeding started.
