Extended Data Fig. 1: The majority of communities reached equilibrium before the end of the experiment.

Each panel shows the temporal trajectories of the composition of one community at the family level. The most prevalent 37 families are included. The first 16 plots depict communities grown on a single carbon source. The last four plots depict replicated communities grown on a media containing all the 16 carbon sources. The solid black line indicates the observed community richness.
