Phylogenetic characteristics of the supragingival microbiome. a A stacked bar chart of supragingival s-OTUs by dentition (phylogenetic tree constructed using the webserver iTOL.embl.de). Data for a is presented in Additional file 7: Table S3. The length of each bar represents the normalized mean relative abundance of a species. Data for this graph (b) shows the core supragingival microbiome in the three dentate stages. The bars represent species that were detected in 75% or more individuals in a group. The distribution of s-OTUs by gram staining characteristics and oxygen requirements in each dentition are shown in c, and Shannon diversity and equitability in d and e respectively. Probable gram staining characteristics and oxygen requirements were attributed to uncultivated species based on phylogenetic relatedness to the closest cultivated species. In all the figures, groups that share the same symbol are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05, Dunn’s test)
