Differential abundance of each operational taxonomic unit (OTU) analysed by negative binomial distribution, represented in a heatmap for significant differential abundant OTUs. The mean abundance was normalised within each OTU to the maximal values. The colour code is from yellow (low abundance, 0) to blue (maximal abundance, 1). Green rectangles represent a significant differential abundance between microbial communities A and B, red squares represent a significant differential abundance between microbial communities A and C, and cyan squares represent a significant differential abundance between microbial communities B and C. The OTUs are named according to their genus classification
