From: To culture or not to culture: careful assessment of metabarcoding data is necessary when evaluating the microbiota of a modified-atmosphere-packaged vegetarian meat alternative throughout its shelf-life period

Fig. 4

Cumulated histograms representing the relative abundance of taxa identified by metabarcoding at family levels. The category “Others” represents taxa present in <5% relative abundance. Following sample codes were used: V symbolizes vegetarian product. B indicates the batch number while L represents when an unsliced vegetarian product log was sliced (i.e. L1 and L3 represent vegetarian product logs sliced one and three weeks after production, respectively). D0 describes that the product was analyzed on the day of slicing, while D28 represent the product which was analyzed after 28 d of storage
