Input alignments for Oligotyping analyses

The zip file contains the five alignments in fasta format of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of Entomoplasmatales, Bartonellaceae, Acinetobacter, Wolbachia and Pseudonocardia extracted from the 454 dataset, which were used as input for the Oligotyping analyses

Entomoplasmatales 16S rRNA alignment and phylogenetic tree

The zip file contains the alignment in fasta format and phylogenetic tree in newick format built from ca. 970 bp of the 16S rRNA gene amplified from Entomoplasmatales symbionts of Megalomyrmex ants, attine ants and fungus gardens aligned with closely related strains from GenBank

97% OTUs 454 dataset

Following 454 sequencing of the 16s rRNA gene of bacterial communities of 33 samples of attine ants, Megalomyrmex ants and fungus gardens, 923 bacterial OTUs (operational taxonomic units at 97% identity) were identified. The zip file contains an OTU table showing the distribution of sequencing reads for all OTUs across the 33 samples, a taxonomy file with the classification of the OTUs based on the Greengenes reference set (May 2013 release), a fasta file with all 923 representative sequences for these OTUs, and a mapping file containing the barcode sequence for each of the 33 samples that were multiplex sequenced

Unique sequences 454 dataset

Following 454 sequencing of the 16s rRNA gene of bacterial communities of 33 samples of attine ants, Megalomyrmex ants and fungus gardens, 4882 unique bacterial sequences were identified. The zip file contains a table showing the distribution of sequencing reads for all unique sequences across the 33 samples, the taxonomic classification of these sequences based on the Greengenes reference set (May 2013 release), and a fasta file with all the 4882 unique sequences

97% OTUs MiSeq diet experiment dataset

Following MiSeq sequencing of the 16s rRNA gene of bacterial communities of 36 samples of attine ants, Megalomyrmex ants and fungus gardens collected after a diet manipulation experiment, 852 bacterial OTUs (operational taxonomic units at 97% identity) were identified. The zip file contains an OTU table showing the distribution of sequencing reads for all OTUs across the 36 samples, a fasta file with all 852 representative sequences for these OTUs and two taxonomy files linking the taxonomic classification of the OTUs based on the Greengenes reference set (May 2013 release) to the OTU IDs found in the OTU table and the sequence identifiers found in the fasta file

Sericomyrmex mtCOI alignment and phylogenetic tree

The zip file contains the alignment in fasta format and the maximum likelihood phylogeny in newick format built from the 384 bp of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (mtCOI) gene amplified from 60 colonies of Sericomyrmex fungus-growing ants collected across the Panama Canal Zone

Bartonellaceae 16S rRNA alignment and phylogenetic tree

The zip file contains the alignment in fasta format and the phylogenetic tree in newick format built from ca. 970 bp of the 16S rRNA gene amplified from Bartonellaceae symbionts of Megalomyrmex ants and attine ants aligned with closely related strains from GenBank
