Clustering analysis of PM plates. (a) Clustering of different carbon sources. The colour bar indicates low to high utilization of different carbon sources. (b) Clustering of the nutrient mediated growth across all the plates, each column represents a well and each row represents time point (0-96 hrs, top to bottom), color bar ranges from blue to red depicting low to high respiration rate. (c) Cluster for high growth promoting nutrients. The well numbering and corresponding metabolite details for the three PM plates are given in the supplementary (Additional file 3).
