Average community composition of bacteria (a) and fungi (b) in the mock community samples sequenced via metagenomic shotgun and 16S rRNA gene amplicon techniques (amplicon: V1 V2, V3 V4, one-step, two-step; shotgun: MEGAN based classification (short reads)). c Bacterial genus-level alpha diversity estimates in comparison to the expected community value. d Principle coordinate analysis of the Bray-Curtis distance between methods and the expected community. Ellipses represent standard deviations of points within the respective groups. Sample sizes for the different approaches are Nshotgun = 4, NV1V2-one-step = 3, NV1V2-two-step = 3, NV3V4-one-step = 3, and NV1V2-two-step = 3
