Figure 1

Heat map showing changes in taxa proportions as a function of PCR cycle number. The taxa shared by all (twelve) 16S-HTS subsets were analyzed. The relative abundances of taxa after 20 PCR cycles were used as baselines for comparisons. These values are represented according to the grey scale below the heat map. Changes (%) in the relative abundance of taxa after 25 or 30 cycles are represented by rectangles according to the color scale below the heat map. The corresponding values are given in the Additional files 1 and 3. Differences were significant (P < 0.01; chi-square test) unless marked by an asterisk.
