Microbiome functions are differentially enriched across herbivorous and animalivorous bats. A Results of LDA-LEfSe analysis of metagenome functions between primarily herbivorous and animalivorous bats (cutoff LDA score ≥ 2.5). The symbol † indicates an engineered pathway, while * indicates a pathway associated with synthesis of an essential amino acid. B Principal coordinates analysis of bat metagenome functions, where each dot represents an individual animal’s metagenome. C Relative abundance of two functions determined to be differentially enriched in bats of different feeding guilds, where each bar represents one sample. Horizontal lines indicate mean relative abundance within groups. Omnivores are not depicted due to small sample size
