Variability of oropharyngeal microbiome profiles with storage temperatures. (A) Variability of oropharyngeal microbiome profiles with storage temperatures for the MO BIO PowerSoil extraction method. Four specimens were collected from each subject and stored for 4 weeks at different temperatures. Microbiome profiles at the genus level were estimated using QIIME. The figure presents the principal coordinate analysis based on the weighted UniFrac distances between these microbiome profiles. Each coordinate axis explains the specified percent of the total community variability.
