Microbial community composition of 103 commercial Kombucha SCOBY determined by metabarcoding analysis and divided into four k-clusters. (a) Comparison of Simpson Diversity Index. (b) Ordination plot of weighed Unifrac distance comparing beta diversity. (c) Two-way hierarchically clustered heatmap showing the relative abundance of bacterial and fungal microbial genera within individual SCOBY, grouped by similarity and divided into four k-clusters.
