Figure 2

Scatterplot of sequence counts assigned to the taxonomic rank family for microbial communities from the wet and dry fermentation processes. For each taxonomic family, sequence abundances, normalized on the smallest dataset, with pseudocounts (for an explanation see Methods section) are plotted as a logarithm to the base 10. Red symbols indicate archaeal and green symbols indicate bacterial families. Only families for which the sum of the relative read abundances measured was at least 0.01% were considered.
