Figure 1

Phyla distribution in the studied dataset as computed by each tool. Comparison of the bacterial phyla identified by MG-RAST and QIIME related to the numbers (a) and to the Log10 scale (b) of the 16S OTUs identified. Error bars indicate standard deviations of the mean. Box plots (b) show phyla distribution in the two groups; the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentiles are reported by horizontal lines. Whiskers represent minimum and maximum values (b).
