FIG 2.
Microbiota in the fermentation of pu-erh tea. (A and B) Bacterial (A) and fungal (B) Chao1 and abundance-based coverage estimates (ACE) and Shannon indices. (C and D) PCA of relative abundance (RA) of bacterial (C) and fungal (D) OTUs in each sample. (E and F) Circos plots of changes of major bacterial families (E) and fungal genera (F) (RAs, >1% of the total sequences) in fermentation. “Others” are composed of the family or genus showing a percentage of reads of <1.0% of the total reads in each sample.
