Phylogenetic characteristics of the subgingival microbiome. Figure 4A is a stacked bar chart representing the normalized mean relative abundances of subgingival s-OTUs by dentition (phylogenetic tree constructed using the webserver iTOL.embl.de). Data for Fig. 4a is presented in Additional File 9-supplemental table S5. b shows the core subgingival 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 panel c, and Shannon diversity and equitability in panels 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. Panel f shows the number of species shared between the supragingival and subgingival environments in all dentition states. In all the figures, groups that share the same symbol are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05, Dunn’s test)
