Redundance analysis triplot showing the relationship between the top 16 genus-like level phylogenetic groupings of the OTUs and the environmental variables explaining the variance with time in the Dutch reactor. Sampling days are shown as filled circles (). Environmental variables or selected fermentation products are represented by red arrows. Bacterial community at genus-like groups with the level, i.e. phylum (P), order (O), family (F) or genus (G) are represented as blue arrows. The arrows indicate the direction in which the relative abundance increases. Length of arrows is a measure of fit. The environmental variable arrows (in red) approximated the correlation between species and an environmental variable. The further a product falls in the direction indicated by an arrow, the higher the correlation. Both axes together explained 69% of the total variance in the dataset
