Host and environmental determinants of microbial community structure in the marine phyllosphere
Fig 4
The average relative abundance of each of the 11, 252 ASVs found in blade surface samples is plotted against the number of samples that included that ASV.
Twenty-one ASVs were found in 100% of blade surface samples (n = 52) and comprise a potential ‘core’ community for the T. testudinum phyllosphere. Core community members, highlighted in the gray box, consisted of both abundant and rare species. The core community members are color coded by bacterial phylum and class (green- Cyanobacteria, Oxyphotobacteria; light blue- Proteobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria; yellow- Proteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria; purple- Bacteriodetes, Bacteroidia; red- Planctomycetes, Planctomycetacia; dark blue- Chloroflexi, Anaerolineae).
