A Heatmap of major bacterial phyla determined by NGS. Numbers represent percentages of total sequences. The color intensity in each box indicates the relative percentage of each phyla. B Richness (S, bars) and Shannon diversity (H’, dots) indices for the analyzed prokaryotic communities. C Hierarchy classification of the bacterial sequences found by NGS. Gray scale colors identify higher hierarchy classifications.
