2. Figure 1
%G+C profiles of intestinal microbial genomic DNA samples from IBS subtypes and control subjects. These included from left to right the fractions 7, 10, and 13, consisting of bacterial genomes with %G+C of 25–30, 40–45, and 55–60, respectively.

3. Figure 2
Results of the Bayesian population structure analysis on samples from fraction (A) 7, (B) 10, and (C) 13. Each dot represents an identified homogeneous subgroup of bacterial sequences, which is projected into a 2-dimensional space using multidimensional scaling of average relative sequence dissimilarities between the subgroups. In the presence of systematic differences between the subgroup compositions for the controls and the IBS symptom subtypes, the dots appear as widely separated groups. The coloring used here is as follows: control, black; IBS-D, red; IBS-C, green; IBS-M, blue.

4. Figure 3
qPCR results of fecal samples from 24 patients with IBS and 22 control subjects. For visualization, detection limits of the assays were set to 10416S ribosomal RNA gene copies except for the universal qPCR assay. Symbols are as follows: Control, tick; IBS-C, open circle; IBS-D, cross; IBS-M, triangle.
