Fig. 5
Bacterial composition in a subsection of tissue types. The bacterial composition of the 35 samples analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, was visualized. a Heatmap of the investigated samples. Colors represent bacterial composition, with stronger red indicating higher percentage of total read abundance, while light blue indicate absence of the bacteria. The 20 most common bacteria are depicted on the y axis, while the x-axis contains the 35 samples included in this analysis. b qPCR results for the investigated subsection of tissue samples. Samples starting with “U” indicated diverticula, “P” indicate adenomas while samples starting with “K” indicate samples originating from patients diagnosed with CRC (tumors or paired normal tissue)
