Metabolic profile comparisons of Human Microbiome Project (HMP) oral metagenomes, other HMP-body sites and the in vitro biofilm metagenomes. The METAREP tool was used to compare Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) super pathways representing the 12- and 16-hrs-old in vitro biofilms from this study with HMP-oral metagenomes representing supragingiva, keratinized gingiva and saliva samples from healthy subjects. These oral metagenomes were also compared to HMP metagenomes from other body sites, that is, anterior nares (external position of nostrils), mid vagina and posterior fornix (area behind lower portion of uterus) by using hierarchical cluster analyses of ORF abundance data for each sample. Colored bar in the top indicates relative abundance in percentage of annotated ORFs that fall within each KEGG super pathway (blue, approximately 0%; white, approximately 6%; red, approximately 16%).
