Taxonomic distribution in Salmonella dilution series (SDS) after removal of Decontam contaminants (prevalence-based). 109 out of 235 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the SDS dataset were identified as contaminants and removed (user defined thresholdā€‰=ā€‰0.5). At the default threshold, only 34 out of 235 OTUs in the dataset were identified as contaminants (figure not drawn). Taxonomic rank is described using prefixes (f__: family, g__: genus).
