False microbial discoveries accumulate along the recovered abundance axis in the Pseudomonas dilution study. A For each taxa clustering method, the observed variation in within-genus Pseudomonas taxa accumulations are driven by experimental and technical parameters. Contaminant Pseudomonas are expected to fall with input loads, indicating false discovery accumulations at higher recovered Pseudomonas abundances. B The genus recovered abundance axis offers a succinct representation for taxa accumulations. Average and the 95% point-wise confidence intervals for the logged within-Pseudomonas taxa accumulation trends are shown with colored lines for each method, with colored circles indicating the respective observations. C An overlay of taxa accumulations across multiple detected genera in the study. Colors indicate genera
