Network of microorganisms. Grey circles represent the names of the TMFB, Tep is for tepache, Col is for colonche, Mes is mescal, Ato for atole agrío, Pul for pulque, Tub for tuba, and Tej for tejuino. The size of the letters represents the number of microorganisms recorded for each beverage. The letters in the middle represent the microorganisms that are shared commonly in the studied beverages. Saccharomyces (Sac), Lactobacillus (Lac), and Candida (Can), among others, are common shared microorganisms. Mescal, pulque, and pozol are the most studied beverages in which a major group of microorganisms has been recorded. Colonche displays the lowest connectivity due to the few studies on this beverage. The genera of microorganisms and the names of beverages are displayed in the Table S2.
