Figure 4:

Size of the shared microbiome features among cattle (n = 77) fed 4 different diets for the number of genes, genera, phyla, metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), KEGG pathways, and carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). The percentages of shared items and animals are represented on the y- and x-axes, respectively. The absolute numbers for each item are indicated at the intercept between the percentages of items and animals at the thresholds of 50%, 90%, and 100%. Only ∼1% of genes were shared by 90% of the cattle, whereas close to 80% of KEGG orthologs and CAZy functions were shared by 90% of the cattle, suggesting gene redundancy for similar functions. Note the presence of most MAGs assembled in this work in 90% of the cattle.
