Extended Data Fig. 10: Examples of the gating strategy used for flow cytometric data.

Examples of the gating strategy used for flow cytometric cell sorting. Cells were stained with SYBR Green I, gated based on forward scatter (x-axes) and fluorescence intensity at 488/530 nm excitation/emission (y-axes) and sorted into 384-well plates by collecting 1 - 200 events per well. Samples were further processed to obtain host-depleted mini-metagenomes, as described in the Method section.
