Fig. 2: Amino acid auxotrophy in bacteria across habitats.
From: Taxonomic and environmental distribution of bacterial amino acid auxotrophies
A Prevalence of amino acid auxotrophy in representative bacterial taxa from 12 different habitats (N = 13,523 genomes). The mean number of amino acid auxotrophies of representative bacterial taxa in each habitat is shown as red diamonds in the main panel, and as horizontal bars in the top subpanel. B Relative abundance of the most dominant phyla across habitats. The x-axis is sorted by increasing numbers of auxotrophic taxa in each habitat. Letters at the top of A indicate statistical differences (P < 0.05) between habitats based on Mann-Whitney U tests with Bonferroni-corrected p-values.
