Figure Lengend Snippet: Demonstration of the 16S rRNA gene sequence features of Lachnospiraceae extracted by Lin et al. using the Barrnap. (A) Distribution of the extracted Lachnospiraceae 16S rRNA gene sequences. There are 176 genomes with a sequence length shorter than 1300 bp and 11 genomes with a sequence length even shorter than 500 bp. Notice that six genomes have extremely long 16S rRNA gene sequences (>2000 bp), which are longer than the entire 16S rRNA gene (~1500 bp). (B) Histogram categorizing sequences into four length groups (0–500 bp, 500–1300 bp, 1300–2000 bp, and >2000 bp), with frequencies indicated on the y ‐axis.

Article Snippet: Extensively related to the paper of Lin et al. [ ], there were 176 species [ ] and 90 genera of Lachnospiraceae (by December of 2023, https://lpsn.dsmz.de/family/Lachnospiraceae ), and Lin et al. stated only 58 genera in their article [ ].

Figure Lengend Snippet: The collection of 1868 Lachnospiraceae cultured genomes. (A) Contribution of 756 newly isolated Lachnospiraceae genomes to the existing valid name genera. Genera represented by the human gut cultured genomes are marked in black, genera without human intestinal culture representation but with genomes from other niches are marked in pink, and genera without any cultured genome are marked in gray. (B) Geographical and niche distribution of the number of genomes retrieved. (C) Phylogenetic tree of the 1868 isolated genomes. The tree was produced from concatenated protein sequences using PhyloPhlAn 3. The clades are colored according to the genome source database (The expanded Cultivated Genome Reference [CGR2] or download). Potentially novel species and type strains are marked in the first layer with red and blue dots, respectively. The second and third layers represent the niches and continents where the genomes were isolated, respectively. The GTDB genus annotation is marked at the last layer and text‐labeled for those with multiple lineages. (D) The Jaccard distance distributions of eight multilineage genera within and between branches. *** p < 0.001 as defined by the Wilcoxon test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Pan‐genomic diversity of Lachnospiraceae. (A) The number of genes shared between different genomes. The X‐axis is the proportion of genomes containing common genes in all genomes. (B) Core genome, pan‐genome, genome number, and gene number statistics for 41 species with more than 10 genomes sorted by the number of genomes. (C) Phylogenetic unrooted tree constructed based on single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The tree was produced by Parsnp. Nodes are colored according to the isolation country. Clades are divided based on genetic distance. (D) The density of variations frequency at different genome positions of the four clades. The genomic position is colored according to the mutation type. (E) The presence or absence of genes in the Anaerotignum genus. Genes that are only present in the genome of a specific niche are defined as specific genes.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Functional profile of Lachnospiraceae. (A) Distribution of genes associated with short‐chain fatty acid production in each genome. This phylogenetic tree is consistent with Figure . The two pathways for butyrate production from acetyl‐CoA (the Butyryl‐CoA transferase pathway and Butyrate kinase pathway) are presented in the first and second layers, respectively. The third to fifth layers represent the three pathways from propionyl‐CoA to propionate production. The shade of color indicates the type of genes in the pathway, that is, the integrity of the pathway. The last layer represents the genus, which is consistent with Figure . Thl, thiolase; Hdb, β ‐hydroxybutyryl‐CoA dehydrogenase; Cro, crotonase; Bcd, butyryl‐CoA dehydrogenase; But, butyryl‐CoA:acetate CoA transferase; Ptb, phosphate butyryltransferase; Buk, butyrate kinase; ACSS1_2, acetyl‐CoA synthetase; ACSS3, propionyl‐CoA synthetase; Pct, propionate CoA‐transferase; Acd, acetate‐CoA ligase (ADP‐forming); Pta, phosphate acetyltransferase; PduL, phosphate propanoyltransferase; AckA, acetate kinase; TdcD, propionate kinase.
