Schematic visualization of the main functional groups activated under hydrated and dehydrated conditions. Both hydration stages were accompanied by distinctive functional activities of the microbiome. Functional groups are highlighted with distinct colours of the outer segments. The size of the segments correlates with the number of up regulated transcripts in the respective group
