Prokaryotic CAZymes in the guts of plant fibre- and soil-feeding termites. a Box plot representation of the percentage identity of AAs, CBMs, CEs, GHs, GTs, PLs and SLHs in our dataset to the proteins in the NCBI non redundant protein database. b Cumulative expression of gene transcripts annotated to different CAZymes classes across plant fibre- and soil-feeding termites prokaryotic microbiomes. c Venn diagram representation of GH families common and exclusive to plant fibre- and soil-feeding termite clusters. d Average cumulative GH expression in gut prokaryotic microbiomes of plant fibre- and soil-feeding termites (dbCAN threshold of e value < 10−18 and coverage > 0.35); GHs enriched (LEfSE analysis) or present exclusively in plant fibre or soil feeder cluster are marked in green and brown colour, respectively. e Average cumulative CBM expression in gut prokaryotic microbiomes of plant fibre- and soil-feeding termites. CBMs enriched (LEfSE analysis) or present exclusively in plant fibre or soil feeder cluster are marked in green and brown colour, respectively. f Heatmap representation of the relative expression of major GH families across all prokaryotic microbiomes (dbCAN threshold of e value < 10−18 and coverage > 0.35). g Heatmap representation of the relative expression of major CBM families across all prokaryotic microbiomes
