Extended Data Fig. 5: Functional groups identified for lactate production and butyrate production.

From: Annotation-free discovery of functional groups in microbial communities

Extended Data Fig. 5

Species that are confirmed to be lactate producers or butyrate producers in previous experimental studies are highlighted in red. The two Streptococcus luteciae species in the left panel are well-known lactate producers in the Lactobacillales clade. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Blautia producta as well as Lachnospiraceae species have been reported to be butyrate producers.
