Extended Data Fig. 5: Detecting genomes from the SMGA in publicly available datasets.

The detection of isolate genomes and MAGs from the SMGA (y-axis) in selected publicly available 16S rRNA gene amplicon datasets (x-axis) based on alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences. 16S rRNA gene detection is coloured based on the % identity of the gene alignment. At a 97% identity level to amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), 144 out of 146 SMGA bacteria were detected in publicly available 16S rRNA gene datasets from either in vivo trials or in vitro models with salmon gut microbial communities. This included prevalent genera such as Carnobacterium, Lactobacillus, Flavobacteria, Photobacterium, Shewanella, Vibrio and Aliivibrio that are routinely observed in salmon microbiome research1,2,3,4.
