a Community composition of bacteria in the progressive enrichment of predator/prey co-cultures after different approaches, as labeled, based on analyses of 16S rRNA amplicons, excluding M. vaginatus. Two ASVs were detected for the genus Flavisolibacter. EMMA denotes the Expanded Microcoleus Mortality Assay. b Detailed dynamics of relative abundance for the 10 ASVs (amplicon sequence variants) detected at each stage. ASVs are labelled according to the finest taxonomic assignment possible. Each color represents an ASV, labeled at the genus label, when possible. c Phylogenetic relationships of the full 16S rRNA gene sequence of Cyanoraptor togatus LGM-1 obtained from its full genome sequence, against those of all existing isolates in the family Chitinophagaceae, using those in the family Saprospiraceae as an outgroup. The tree encompasses 181 individual sequences, collapsed for clarity; percent bootstrap values are at the nodes. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
