Composition and Similarity of Bovine Rumen Microbiota across Individual Animals
Figure 4
Shared genera and abundance across samples.
Box plot showing the relative abundance of the bacterial genera shared by all samples, represented as log percentage on the X-axis. The boxes represent the interquartile range (IQR) between the first and third quartiles (25th and 75th percentiles, respectively) and the vertical line inside the box defines the median. Whiskers represent the lowest and highest values within 1.5 times the IQR from the first and third quartiles, respectively. Samples with a relative abundance of a given taxon exceeding those values are represented as points beside the boxes. The box color denotes the phylum of the genera: Bacteroidetes (blue), Firmicutes (red), Proteobacteria (green), Tenericutes (light blue), Cyanobacteria (orange), TM7 (gray), Actinobacteria (purple). Taxa not indentified at the genus level are identified by an asterisk and their highest taxonomic identification.
