Summary of microbial interaction networks. The degree of connectedness of bacterial phyla has been shown within a) teat canal and b) milk microbiota. The bar charts show the total number of positive (co-occurrence) or negative (mutual exclusion) interactions observed within the OTUs belonging to major bacterial phyla divided by the average relative abundance of each phylum. The pie charts show the average proportion of bacterial phyla within each niche of the mammary gland. The color codes relate to different bacterial phyla c) shows the total number of positive or negative edges (interactions) observed for hub OTUs (OTUs with a minimum number of 16 connections with other members of the microbiota). Color codes denote the type of integrations as revealed by CoNet analysis
