Fig. 5From: Manipulating the physical distance between cells during soil colonization reveals the importance of biotic interactions in microbial community assemblyDifferences in bacterial community structure and composition between coalesced and reference communities. Weighted UniFrac distances between coalesced and reference communities during the step 2 experiment are represented for the control (A) and heat-shock (C) (mean ± s.e.). Different letters above the bars indicate significant differences according to Nemenyi’s all-pairs comparison test (p-value < 0.05). The Venn diagrams show the number of shared/unique OTUs between the coalesced and references communities for the control (B) and heat-shock (D) at high (d1) and low densities (d2)Back to article page
