Fig. 6: Microbial co-occurrence relationships and microbe-metabolite interactions in tissue of carcasses.

A A co-occurrence network constructed with bacterial and fungal genera. Those nodes that were annotated is the key decomposers mentioned in the previous text. B Spearman’s correlations between modules from the co-occurrence network and metabolites. The red and blue grids indicate a significant (P < 0.05) positive and negative correlation, respectively. The gray grids indicate that the correlation is not significant.
