Another popular tool for detecting contaminating microorganisms is [Recentrifuge](https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006967). It works as a classifier that is trained to recognize contaminant microbial organisms. In case of Recentrifuge, one has to use blanks or other negative controls and provide microbial names and abundances on the blanks in order to train Recentrifuge to recognize endogenous vs. contaminant sources.
