The Metagenomically Reconstructed Genomes Greatly Expand the Genetic and Functional Diversity of the Ten Bacteroides Species Most Prevalent in the Human Gut

(A) Additional Bacteroides genomes we assembled from metagenomes increase the size of the ten most prevalent Bacteroides kSGBs from 4 to >500 times.

(B) The expanded Bacteroides kSGBs account for much larger pangenomes that capture a greater functional potential.

(C) Ordinations on intra-SGB genetic distances (fractions of nucleotide mutations in the core genome) highlight the genetic structure of Bacteroides species and that reference genomes were available only for a reduced subset of subspecies structures (additional ordinations are in Figure S6A).
