FIG. 1.

DGGE (a) and UPMGA clustering analysis (b) of the Sphingomonadaceae community of the mycospheres of 16 fungi and six corresponding bulk soil samples isolated from N soil. Only six bulk soil samples (B1 to B6) are shown, as the patterns of all bulk soil samples were found to be highly similar. Abbreviations: MG, Mycena galopus; RO, Russula ochroleuca; LH, Lactarius hepaticus; Ms, Mycena sp.; GP, Gymnopilus penetrans; Rhs, Rhodocollybia sp.; SC, Scleroderma citrina; RE, Russula exalbicans; TF, Tubaria furfuracea; LO, Laccaria ochropurpurea; LA, Laccaria amethystea; Ps, Phallus sp.; AT, Armillaria tabescens; M, markers. (b) Clusters I to IV are shown. The scale at the top shows percent similarity.
