a Representation of the diverse environments from which MAGs originate from in the ecological analysis. For each environment13,14,39–46, the number of MAGs is stated, along with a pie chart indicating the three most prevalent bacterial phyla (see colour code in the figure), as determined by GTDB-Tk cross-referenced with LPSN. MAGs termed as ‘generic’ due to a lack of metadata are not included (n = 3397)47. b Phylum level taxonomic diversity within the IMNGS amplicon studies utilised within the 16S rRNA gene amplicon-based habitat preference and distribution analysis. These datasets span 63 phyla represented by over 37,314,233 OTUs. The names of phyla lacking a child taxon with a validly published name are in red, as determined via the LPSN database.
