Network Representation of Global Microbial Communities

Caption

Network representation of the cohesion and separation of microbial communities or microbiomes (colored circles) by redox traits (left) versus taxonomical information (right). Differerent colors indicate different types of ecosystems (e.g., blue shades correspond to marine ecosystems and cyan to animal-associated microbiomes). Note that the organization of microbiomes is significantly better represented by redox traits than by taxonomical information.
