Fig. 4From: From guest to host: parasite Cistanche deserticola shapes and dominates bacterial and fungal community structure and network complexityDiversity and distribution patterns of bacterial and fungal microbiota under parasitism. A and D. Alpha diversity of bacterial (A) and fungal (D) microbiota. The number on the horizontal line represented P value based on Wilcox test. B and E Principal-coordinate analysis (PCoA) ordinations based on Bray–Curtis distance matrices describing the distribution patterns of bacterial (B) and fungal (E) microbiota. The degree of variation explained (R2) and the significance (P values) provided by permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) analysis. C and F Bacterial (C) and fungal (F) microbiota dissimilarity among four samples (RCD, RHA, ECD and EHA). The number on the horizontal line represented P value based on Wilcox test. G and H. The relative abundance of the major microbe phyla in bacterial (G) and fungal (H) microbiotaBack to article page
