Fig. 2: Characteristics of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) recovered from grub carcasses during early and late stages of decomposition.

The abundance in ranking, gene numbers in metabolism pathways, genome size (grey bar) and the BUSCO completeness (blue dot), and contamination (grey dot) values are shown for a early stage and b late stage. The numbers preceding the bacterial genus corresponding to the number of MAG bins are listed in Supplementary Data 1. Circles with black outlines in pantothenic acid, biotin, folate and cobalamin pathways indicate MAGs can synthesise these vitamins de novo. The remaining B vitamins pathways are relatively simple, with MAGs possessing the genes able to synthesise products de novo. a MAGs from the early stage do not significantly change the abundance ranking (upper), and MAGs decrease in abundance in the presence of P. pacificus (lower). b MAGs from the late stage are dominant in the control group (upper), and MAGs are dominant in the presence of the P. pacificus wild type (lower).
