The species-level taxonomic profile of bacteria. The heatmap illustrates the hierarchical grouping of sample groups according to the relative abundance of the top 70 bacterial species revealed in the Munshiganj (M1-M4) and Chandpur GW metagenomes (C1-C2). The heatmap’s relative values (after normalization), shown by colors, represent the degree of bacterial species aggregation or content among samples based on the study region (Munshiganj and Chandpur), and criteria (pathogenic, opportunistic and non-pathogenic). The color bar (red to blue) depicts the row Z-scores (2 to -1.5), with red indicating high abundance and blue indicating low abundance. On the left, the color of the squares shows the relative number of bacterial species within each category. Additionally contains the distribution and relative abundance of the bacterial species found in the research metagenomes. The distribution and relative abundance of the bacterial species in the study metagenomes are also available in Data S1
