Microbial-environmental interactions reveal the evaluation of fermentation time on the nutrient properties of soybean meal

Figure 2: LEfSe analysis of microbiota revealed that differential OTUs were few of the biomarkers with high scores at the corresponding taxonomic level (Supplementary File Figure 2), in which the differential OTUs were mainly distributed among the groups in the dominant phylum, such as Cyanobacteria, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteriota.

Figure 3-4: Microbial networks were constructed based on a uniform similarity threshold (0.75) using the RMT method (Figure 3-4, Supplementary File Tab. 1). The scale-free property (power-law r2=0.330 - 0.617) suggested a non-random co-occurrence pattern in this microbial network, which was consistent with the result of the comparison between the empirical network and random network (Supplementary File Tab. 1, Figure 1).
