  1. “Flying squirrel” represented combined data for cecal mircrobiota of 2 flying squirrels (FS1 and FS2). "Mouse" represents combined data for cecal microbiota of 3 lean mice[14]. "Cattle" represents combined data for rumen microbiota of 3 cattle[15]. Numbers of phylotypes (OTUs) for each phylum were given for analyses of 16S rRNA gene libraries. Numbers in parentheses for “Flying squirrel” were relative abundances estimated by fosmid end-sequences from 1 flying squirrel (FS5).
