Figure 3.

Abundance distribution of quantified COG categories in baseline and cultured microbiomes using fresh or frozen biobanked stools. Group average of LFQ intensities were used for plotting. Baseline, uncultured microbiome samples; FOS, fructo-oligosaccharide treatment group; PBS, phosphate buffered saline treatment group. V31, V33 and V34, origin donors of the microbiome samples. Different colors indicate COG categories. Column facet grid names (wk0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 52) indicate the weeks of frozen in −80°C prior to culturing.
