Figure 1

Distribution of sequences and OTUs among IBS-D and HC clone libraries. The unique sequences or OTUs (cut-off-level of 98%) in the IBS-D and HC libraries are indicated in red and blue, respectively. The grey area in the group-wise bars is a mirror-image of shared sequences or OTUs and it is presented on both sides of the y-axis. The number of singleton OTUs is given in parentheses. The roman numerals XIV and IV within the Firmicutes indicate the corresponding Clostridium rRNA clusters, 1) Other Firmicutes, 2) Acidobacteria, Cyanobacteria, TM7 and Verrucomicrobia.
