Acid-spicy odour intensity as a function of the ‘absolute’ abundance of OTU154509. Odour intensity was evaluated on a scale from 0 to 10. The ‘absolute’ abundance is expressed in arbitrary units obtained by multiplying the relative abundance of the OTUs (fraction of all OTUs determined by pyrosequencing) with DNA quantity in pg determined by qPCR in purified extracts using S. aureus MW2 genomic DNA as a reference. The S. aureus MW2 genome weighs approximately 2.9 fg and contains six 16S rDNA copies.
