Fig. 4From: Genomic diversity and ecology of human-associated Akkermansia species in the gut microbiome revealed by extensive metagenomic assemblyA. muciniphila is stratified in multiple subspecies with distinct host preferences. A Phylogenetic tree of A. muciniphila based on a core-gene alignment built using 169 clade-specific core genes (see the “Methods” section). The red arrow indicates the MucT type strain. B Within- and between-subspecies core-gene nucleotide identities confirm the subspecies diversification defined on the phylogeny. C Per-host frequency of A. muciniphila subspecies assembled from metagenomes. All 174 mouse A. muciniphila genomes were reconstructed from stool metagenomes of laboratory miceBack to article page
