Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events. HGT events (identity > 99.9%, length > 500 bp) detected between MAGs belonging to different genera (A) and classified by surface, producer, and cave (B). The thickness of the circle internal lines is proportional to the number of HGT events detected for each genera pair. The “Themselves” group corresponds with HGT events between different genera from the same surface, producer, or cave group. C Percentage of coding regions (CDS) detected within HGT sequences belonging to different functions of the level 2 and level 3 of KEGG Orthology functional classification. Only 45% of CDS detected, with KO code assigned, were represented. D Relation between the length of HGT events and the number of CDS detected in them. Circle colors indicate the genera pair for each HGT event, while the size of the circles is square-root proportional to the number of HGT events with the same length and CDS number. Lactobacillus includes all the newly established genera that formerly belonged to the genus Lactobacillus (e.g., Lacticaseibacillus, Lactiplantibacillus)
