FIGURE 2.

Presence and absence of ribosomal proteins encoded in complete CPR and non-CPR genomes. The distributions of 54 ribosomal proteins (columns) across representative bacterial genomes (rows) are shown. The presence (white) or absence (black) of each ribosomal protein is indicated for 69 complete genomes of CPR bacteria and 140 complete genomes of representative non-CPR bacteria (70 free-living lineages and 70 symbiotic lineages; see Supplemental Tables S2–S4). Ribosomal protein names follow the nomenclature proposed by Ban et al. (2014). The rows were sorted based on a phylogenetic tree (Jaffe et al. 2020), and the labels provide NCBI accession numbers and the taxonomy of each genome. The left panel shows the phylum-level classification and is colored according to taxonomic group (see Supplemental Fig. S1). MG: Microgenomates; Sa: Saccharibacteria; Pe: Peregrinibacteria; PB: Parcubacteria.
