The bacteria community compositions and structures in different growth stages in YX-2 region. The bacteria community compositions at phylum level (a); the heatmap of bacteria communities (b). The community structure composition of different groups or samples on different taxonomic levels (such as ___domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, OTU, etc.) could be obtained based on taxonomic analysis. In this work, community Bar diagram and community heatmap were adopted respectively to show the characterizations of community composition of different samples. The microbial species and relative abundance contained in each sample at phylum taxonomic level were visually shown by the community Bar diagram. Clustering was carried out based on the similarity of species in different samples, and the results were presented on the community heatmap, allowing species with high and low richness to gather in blocks, and reflecting the similarity and difference of community composition of different samples using color changes.
