Figure 3
The OTUs heatmap at genus level. The relative abundance of OTUs was assessed across all samples, and OTUs were clustered in a heatmap according to their co-occurrence at genus level. Clustering was performed as a type of hierarchical clustering method to interpret the distance matrix using average linkage. The dendrogram provides the genus designation along the right Y-axis and the abundance relationship across all samples for each genus along the left Y-axis. The colour scale for the heatmap is shown in the upper right corner of the figure.
