Fig. 1: Phylogeny and genomic sampling of 77 rumen MAGs.

Maximum likelihood tree of the ribosomal protein rpsC (S3) with reference genomes (3,140), genomes from other rumen MAG studies (345) and genomes recovered here (68). Branches are marked with coloured lines by the rumen data set where the genome originated (centre legend). Coloured circles on the outside of the tree highlight the highest-level taxonomic classification that genomes recovered in this study represent the sampling of (top left legend). The asterisks indicate MAGs containing a partial 16S rRNA gene sequence (>300 bp). The tree is rooted by Euryarchaeota (Eur). Phylum-level groups are outlined in shades of blue and are labelled on the inside circle (Tener, Tenericutes; Fi, Fibrobacteres; Sa, Saccharibacteria (TM7); Spir, Spirochaetes; L, Lentisphaera; Prot, Proteobacteria). Named groups have grey shading behind the circles, including genomes belonging to known genera. The full tree in Newick format is provided in Supplementary Dataset 11. Note, the red lines are missing for the RC9 gut group genomes because they did not contain rpsC proteins; however, the placement of these genomes was confirmed by concatenated ribosomal protein analyses (Fig. 3).
