Figure 4
The genus level taxonomic profile of bacteria and fungi in sweet yogurt of cow, sour yogurt of both cow and buffalo samples. The relative abundance of (A) 20 most abundant bacterial and (B) 25 most abundant fungal genera are sorted from bottom to top by their deceasing proportion with the remaining genera keeping as ‘other genera’. Each stacked bar plot represents the abundance of bacterial and fungal genera in each sample of the corresponding category. Notable differences in bacterial and fungal populations are those where the taxon is abundant in sweet yogurt samples, and effectively undetected in the sour yogurt samples. The distribution and relative abundance of the bacterial and fungal genera in the study metagenomes are also available in Data S1. The bar plots are generated using Microsoft Excel program.
