Fig. 4: Source environment proportions for meat samples.
From: The sources and transmission routes of microbial populations throughout a meat processing facility
Source environment proportions for meat samples estimated using SourceTracker and visualized as a Sankey flow diagram. Environmental source samples are represented on the left and meat samples, as sinks, are shown on the right. The line width of individual flows between them illustrates the average predicted contribution/proportion of microorganisms from source samples to the microbial community of respective sink samples. The height of the individual bars of sink samples on the right (Singeing to Truck) sums up to 100%. The height of individual bars of source samples on the left represents the sum of proportions to each of the five sink samples.
