* Counted in the same healthy people as the species (whole-genome samples). All bars use the same 0–100% scale. A product with two Levilactobacillus species counts once in the genus total.
Its species' DNA
Levilactobacillus genomes run from 2.2M to 3.5M: mid-sized for gut microbes.
One reference genome per species; strains vary.
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. 4 of its 11 species aren't in either source yet.

On average, 0.01% of the microbes in a healthy gut: larger than 75% of genera’s slices.
Every group, drawn the same way. Only some samples record age or sex, so each group says how many people it comes from. Tap one to see it above.
In conditions
Compared with healthy people in the same studies, it’s less common in none and more common in none. Only studies that had both are counted.
A difference is an association: it doesn’t mean this microbe causes, prevents or treats any of these.
