Fig. 9: Monitoring of the abundance classifications of selected OTUs.
From: Definition of the microbial rare biosphere through unsupervised machine learning
Samples are represented on the x axis and the abundance classification on the y axis, with lines connecting samples that are related. For Eunicella gazella species, lines connect healthy to necrotic tissue (EG15_H, EG16_H, EG18_H and EG15_N, EG16_N, EG16_N), while Eunicella verrucosa (EV01, EV02, EV03, EV04) and Leptogorgia sarmentosa (LS06, LS07, LS08) only presented healthy tissue. Additionally, sediment (SD01, SD02, SD03) and seawater (SW01, SW02, SW03, SW04) samples were also represented in distinct groups. The different coral species, sediments and seawater were separated by vertically dashed lines. Relevant taxonomic information of the selected OTUs is indicated at the top of each plot. To indicate that an OTU was absent in a sample, we added the classification “absent”, which is not obtained from ulrb.
