Identification of the 103 isolates obtained from mouse fecal samples based on MALDI-TOF MS profiles with GPMsDB-tk. Details of the identification results are shown in Table S6. The bar chart shows the fractions of the correct identification (categories A–C) at the genus to strain levels and incorrect identification (category D) at taxonomic levels lower than the family level. Successful genus to strain-level identifications were possible for 96 isolates, out of 103 cultures. In the fractions of categories A–C, the number of uncultured taxa at the species level were suggested based on GPMsDB identification and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. For the category (D), we identified one isolate (isolate 35), for which genomes were not available in the GPMsDB as they represent a new lineage at the genus level or above (see Table S6)
