(a) Heat map for phylums representation and clustering samples with the Bray-Curtis distance metric. (b) NMDS scatter plot clustering of samples on Bray-Curtis distance metric. (c) Heat map for phylums representation and clustering samples with the Gower distance metric. (b) NMDS scatter plot clustering of samples on Gower distance metric. (e) Heat map for phylums representation and clustering samples with the Jaccard distance metric. (f) NMDS scatter plot clustering of samples on Jaccard distance metric. V2-V3 fragments – red pointer, V3-V4 fragments – blue pointer. The encoding of the samples is indicated in Table 1.
