General functional dynamics of the four incubations. A Expression values per sample of the 25 most expressed KOs (KEGG orthologs) in the incubations represented by boxplots colored by incubation state. B Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plot using Bray–Curtis dissimilarities between the expression of KOs in the different samples. Samples are grouped by their incubation state. C Heatmap displaying the expression of main categories as represented by KEGG BRITE classifications in all samples (i.e., each column represents a sample). Values shown are computed by scaling TPM values to a 0–100 scale per category and incubation (i.e., TPM values belonging to a category and incubation are divided by their maximum value). Boxplots display the actual TPM values per sample of each category
