FIGURE 7.

Comparison of bat microbiota with that of other mammals (unweighted UniFrac analysis). Reference sequence data from Ley et al. (2008) were trimmed to match the same position and length of the 16S rRNA gene. Different colors represent different feeding habits (green: herbivorous, red: carnivorous, gray: omnivorous) except blue which marked our sample.
