The immotile subspecies ErEurope exhibits a comparatively strong shift in carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) gene repertoire. a ErEurope exhibits higher carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) family counts than the other subspecies. b Density estimates of the number of CAZy genes per 106 nucleotides in the genome for each subspecies. c Non-metric multidimensional scaling plot based on pairwise Manhattan distances between CAZy gene family abundances. d Left: Differentially abundant carbohydrate-active gene families between genomes of ErEurope and ErEurasia. p values were corrected at 5% family-wise error rate using the Bonferroni method. Color-scale is logarithmic. Middle: Effect size and direction of association (difference in mean copy number between ErEurope and ErEurasia). Right: Putative links between catabolic carbohydrate-active enzyme families (CBM, CE, GH) and their substrates. CBM = carbohydrate-binding module, CE = carbohydrate esterase, GH = glycoside hydrolase, GT = glycosyltransferase
