Figure 5
Genus level taxonomic differentiation of bacteria and fungi in sweet yogurt (from cow milk) and sour yogurt of cow and buffalo milk. Heatmap showing 40 top abundant bacterial genera across the sample categories. The color bars (column Z score) at the top represent the relative abundance of each (A) bacterial genus and (B) fungal genus in the corresponding group. Noteworthy differences in bacterial and fungal populations are those where the genus is abundant in either sweet or sour yogurt samples, and effectively not detected in other metagenomes. The color codes indicate the presence and completeness of each genus in the corresponding sample group, expressed as a value between − 3 (lowest abundance) and 3 (highest abundance). The red color indicates the more abundant patterns, while green cells account for less abundant putative genes in that particular metagenome. The Heatmap is built through a stand-alone software tool; FunRich (http://www.funrich.org/).
