Figure 2. The heatmap showing relationships among tested profiles of bacterial communities and the Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) plot. (a) – The heatmap showing bacterial families distributed across tested samples. Only those families which were primarily responsible for the observed differences among samples were considered. Both dendrograms were estimated with the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index; (b) – PCoA of bacterial communities associated with tested specimens based on weighted UniFrac distances
