Merging FT-IR and NGS for simultaneous phenotypic and genotypic identification of pathogenic Candida species
Fig 3
Score plots of CPCA (PC1 and PC2) analysis of genetic-NGS and phenotypic-FT-IR spectroscopic data of strains from four Candida species—C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. glabrata and C. tropicalis.
The score plots of blocks 1–4 of CPCA analysis of FT-IR spectroscopy data, where block 1 is for lipid region (3050–2800 cm-1), block 2 is for mixed lipid and protein region (1800–1500 cm-1), block 3 is for mixed lipid, protein and polysaccharide region (1500–1200 cm-1) and block 4 is for polysaccharide region (1200–700 cm-1). The score plot of block 5 is for NGS data. The score plot of block 6 represents the global score plot of CPCA components one and two indicating the consensus of all blocks.
