Distinctive bacteria relative abundances across sample category and week. a Plot of log2-transformed average relative abundances in the cadets’ skin and built environment samples for all ASVs. b Shared ASVs heatmap for skin and individual built environment samples, i.e., desk, dormitory room floor, and outdoor across the temporal sampling series. Total samples week 1 = 1107, week 2 = 1207, week 3 = 1102, week 4 = 982, week 5 = 1211, week 6 = 1431, week 7 = 1429, week 8 = 914, week 9 = 1149. c Differentially abundant genera between skin and built environment samples as identified by ANCOM, which are then ranked from 1 to 10 (right to left) based on feature importance score based on random forest models
