Phylogenetic analysis and relative abundance of the major 16S rRNA gene ASVs (i.e. with relative abundance above 0.5% in at least one of the 4 days) and bacterial isolates obtained at the end of the artificial selection experiment. Phylogenetic grouping is represented by a mid-point-rooted maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree. The 36 ASVs represented in the figure (out of the 6605 total ASVs detected) accounted for 92% of all 16S rRNA gene relative abundance. The heatmap represents the relative abundance of each ASV over the 4 days, with darker red showing the day at which the ASV showed maximum abundance. Black circles on the right of the heatmap represent the maximum relative abundance for that ASV amongst the entire community. The 20 isolates are coloured depending on their ability to grow on chitin and the monomer, GlcNAc (green), the GlcNAc only (orange) or neither (red)
