Relative abundance of predominant bacterial taxa across skin microbiomes. (A) Proportion of 16S sequences assigned to the four major phyla. For each subject, the four sessions (1–4) are presented in the left-to-right direction. (B) Heat map showing the relative abundance of genera across samples. Genera with a relative abundance >0.5% in at least one sample are presented. The four fields within a frame correspond to the four sessions (1–4) in the left-to-right direction. The proportion is indicated by the scale at the bottom of the plot. The analysed subjects were non-antiperspirant users.
