Genus-level and species-level analysis of the samples. (a) Genus-level analysis of the nine samples. Overall microbiota composition of fermentation samples at the genus level for: A1, on day 0 using E. faecium; A2, on day 3 using E. faecium; A3, on day 30 using E. faecium; B1, on day 0 using L. plantarum; B2, on day 3 using L. plantarum; B3, on day 30 using L. plantarum; C1, on day 0 using L. plantarum + E. faecium; C2, on day 3 using L. plantarum + E. faecium; and C3, on day 30 using L. plantarum + E. faecium. The relative abundances of E. faecium and L. plantarum are shown on the y-axis. (b) Species-level analysis of the three groups. A: Overall microbiota composition of fermentation samples at the species level using E. faecium. B: Overall microbiota composition of fermentation samples at the species level using L. plantarum. C: Overall microbiota composition of fermentation samples at the species level using L. plantarum + E. faecium. The relative abundances of E. faecium and L. plantarum are shown on the y-axis.
