a

Gene name, product, and Log2FC (fold change) of each comparison and FDR (false discovery rate) are reported. Genes showing an FDR of <0.05 and absolute value of Log2FC >1 were considered statistically differentially transcribed.

b

SV, S. variabile; BO, B. ovatus; BOSV, coculture of B. ovatus and S. variabile; BOSVHH, coculture of B. ovatus, S. variabile, and H. hathewayi; HH, H. hathewayi; BOHH, B. ovatus and H. hathewayi in coculture; BOSVHH, B. ovatus, S. variabile, and H. hathewayi in coculture. Comparisons in S. variabile pure culture are between 12 h and 14 or 16 h of incubation. Comparisons in H. hathewayi pure culture are between transcription at 6 h and 16, 18 or 20 h of incubation. Comparisons in coculture are between pure culture and coculture, both at 24 h of incubation.

c

–, absolute value Log2FC < 1.

d

NS, not statistically significant.
