What they are

Its species' DNA

A C G T
Genome sizes · 2 Kytococcus species
Shortest we have Mycoplasmoides genitalium 0.6M
⋮ 602 shorter than any Kytococcus
Kytococcus schroeteri 2.5M
Kytococcus sedentarius 2.6M
⋮ 1,577 longer than any Kytococcus
Longest we have Bradyrhizobium altum 9.8M

Kytococcus genomes run from 2.5M to 2.6M: small for gut microbes.

One reference genome per species; strains vary.

Their ID genes, lined up: shared stretches form solid stripes

16S gene, V4 region, from one reference sequence per species, aligned so the same positions line up. A blank is a gap: letters other species have and this one lacks. Switch to “Only where they differ” to fade the letters they share.

What its species can do

A species counts when most of its strains can. Not measured in anyone's gut.
