a Circos relations between metabolite categories (oligosaccharides, monosaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, nitrogenous compounds, and other bioactive substances) required by our selected microbial community and the FooDB-derived foods. Only foods which include all metabolite categories are shown. The thickness of the arches (colored band) indicates the mean concentration of the metabolite category in associated foods (1 mg/100 g). b Circos relations between all individual metabolites required by the selected microbial community and the FooDB-derived foods. Only foods which include more than nine (70%) of community-required metabolites are shown (100 foods in total). The number preceding the metabolite represents the number of foods that are linked to each category (e.g. 100 means that the metabolite was found in all the 100 identified foods). The length of the arches (colored band) indicates the mean concentration of the metabolite in associated foods (1 mg/100 g)
