A Relative abundance (%) of the taxonomic annotations at the genus level based on the co-assembled contigs using Kraken2. Differences in composition are observed between the different fractions as well as between the individuals (Ind). B Relative abundance (%) of the functional classification on the co-assembled contigs according to clusters of orthologous groups (COGs) and non-coding RNA types. Abbreviations of the functional categories: A: RNA processing and modification; B: chromatin structure and dynamics; C: energy production and conversion; D: cell cycle control: cell division: chromosome partitioning; E: amino acid transport and metabolism; F: nucleotide transport and metabolism; G: carbohydrate transport and metabolism; H: coenzyme transport and metabolism; I: lipid transport and metabolism; J: translation: ribosomal structure and biogenesis; K: transcription; L: replication: recombination and repair; M: cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis; N: cell motility; O: post-translational modification: protein turnover and chaperones; P: inorganic ion transport and metabolism; Q: secondary metabolites biosynthesis: transport and catabolism; S: function unknown; T: signal transduction mechanisms; U: intracellular trafficking: secretion and vesicular transport; V: defense mechanisms; Z: cytoskeleton. C Heatmap of the bile acid (BA) and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations (µg/L; logarithmic scale), measured by GC-MS and LC-HRMS, respectively, for each individual. Lower concentrations are indicated in blue and range from 0 to 98,029.2 µg/L, higher concentrations are shown in red, ranging from 98,029.2 to 196,058.4 µg/L. SCFAs are originally measured in µmol/L in a dynamic range from 10 to 4000 µmol/L, BAs are measured in ng/mL ranging from 50 to 4000 ng/mL. BAs bile acids, SCFAs short-chain fatty acids, int-DNA intracellular DNA, ex-DNA extracellular DNA, ex-sRNA extracellular small RNA, ex-lRNA extracellular large RNA, ex-Prot extracellular proteins.
