The scale was the percentage composition (log 2) based on the 16S sequences analyzed using RDP Classifier. A 72 h butyrate infusion induced a profound change in the rumen microbial composition, which allowed all 4 samples from this time point to be clustered using a Hierarchical Competitive Learning algorithm (HCL).
