Data repository: Béchade et al. (2022), Turtle ants harbor metabolically versatile microbiomes with conserved functions across development and phylogeny.

Figures in the 'Additional figures' directory are additional figures with, for some, an alternative format that can facilitate the understanding of the data being displayed. The 16S rRNA phylogenetic trees additionally inform on the genetic relatedness among all Cephalotes-isolated bacteria that were used in metabolic assays.<br>Figures in the 'Protein phylogenetic trees' directory are all the protein phylogenetic trees built to identify relatedness of candidate PFCWDE-encoding genes to others from symbionts of Cephalotes ants and those described previously in the literature. These were used, in several cases, to revise annotations.<br>The 'R scripts and input tables' directory contains a set of R scripts and input files to reproduce analyses and data visualizations from Béchade et al. (2022). The R scripts can be used to make five different types of figures to visualize genomic data. The input tables are tables that were generated and used in Béchade et al. (2022).<br>Files contained in the 'Raw data and screening results' directory are mainly direct results from our screenings and analyses.

'补充图表'目录中的图表均为补充性图表，其中部分图表配有可选格式，以助力读者理解所展示的数据。16S rRNA 系统发育树（16S rRNA phylogenetic trees）可进一步阐明所有用于代谢实验的、分离自切叶蚁属（Cephalotes）蚂蚁的细菌之间的遗传亲缘关系。
'蛋白质系统发育树'目录中的图表均为用于鉴定候选PFCWDE编码基因（PFCWDE-encoding genes）与切叶蚁属（Cephalotes）蚂蚁共生菌及此前文献报道的同类基因之间亲缘关系的蛋白质系统发育树。此类图表在多数情况下可用于修正基因注释。
'R脚本与输入表'目录收录了一套R脚本与输入文件，可复现Béchade等（2022）的研究分析与数据可视化流程。该套R脚本可生成五种不同类型的基因组数据（genomic data）可视化图表，所用输入表均为Béchade等（2022）研究中生成并实际使用的表格。
'原始数据与筛选结果'目录所收录的文件，主要为本研究筛选与分析工作的直接产出结果。
