* Counted in the same healthy people as the species (whole-genome samples). All bars use the same 0–100% scale. A product with two Methylorubrum species counts once in the genus total.
What they are
A C G T Its species' DNA
Shortest we have Mycoplasmoides genitalium 0.6M
⋮ 2,197 shorter than any Methylorubrum
Methylorubrum populi 5.8M
⋮ 152 longer than any Methylorubrum
Longest we have Bradyrhizobium altum 9.8M
Methylorubrum genomes run from 5.8M to 5.9M: among the largest 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’s typical · a description, not a comparison
In healthy guts
Not found in the healthy people we have. Our healthy numbers come from whole-genome samples, which name species. Methylorubrum is only seen in 16S samples, which read genera differently, so it isn’t counted here.
Compared within studies that had both
In conditions
Not yet compared in a study with healthy people. A condition shows up here once a study has people with it and healthy people of its own, 10 or more of each.
