a, BGCs detected with antiSMASH that were found to be overrepresented among co-excluders or co-colonizers (two-sided Fisher’s exact test, adjusted P < 0.05). b, Network of all cyclic lactone autoinducer BGCs detected among co-colonizers and co-excluders. BGC nodes are linked if they share >50% nucleotide identity over >50% alignment coverage. c, Distribution of amino acid identity values obtained by comparing each autoinducer BGC family against the MIBiG database (n values indicated in parenthesis next to each BGC family represent the total number of alignments against the MIBiG database). Box lengths represent the IQR of the data, the central line represents the median, and the whiskers depict the lowest and highest values within 1.5× the IQR of the first and third quartiles, respectively.
