Figure 1

DNA was isolated from M. fuscata or H. sapiens swabs collected from the intestinal (anus, colorectal, and stool), vaginal or oral cavity. 16S rDNA sequencing was performed via the 454 FLXtitanium system and sequences were analysed using QIIME software. (a) PCoA plots showing beta diversity of samples collected from M. fuscata swabs of the intestinal (blue), vaginal (red) or oral cavity (orange). The number of animals (n) used for each body site is indicated in parenthesis in the figure legend. (b) Phylum level abundance of bacteria isolated from the intestinal, vaginal or oral cavity of M. fuscata (this work) or H. sapiens (leveraged from the HMP, available at http://www.hmpdacc.org/). Each phylum is represented by a different colour in the phylogenetic tree. The total number of dams and juveniles from which microbiome characterization was derived were 50, with specimens from multiple body sites.
