From: Strain-level analysis reveals the vertical microbial transmission during the life cycle of bumblebee
Compositional and functional profiles of the gut microbiota are distinguishable between bumble and honeybee species. (a) Gut microbiota of bumble (B. terrestris) and honeybee (A. cerana and A. mellifera) species are composed of host-specific species clusters. (b) Species clusters from bumble and honeybee guts exhibit a variable level of strain diversity as calculated by the proportion of SNVs of protein-coding genes within each metagenome. (c) The distribution of CAZyme family across bumble and honeybee gut metagenomes. (d) The CAZyome profiles are differentiable between bee species. (e–f) Shannon diversity index (e) and the abundance (f) of the genes encoding CAZyme in the gut metagenomes of bumble and honeybee species
