Fig 6. Relative abundances of the dominant fungal orders in Ericaceae roots detected by pyrosequencing.

Tag-encoded pyrosequencing was performed with ten Ericaceae hair roots samples from three sites in NP České Švýcarsko (CS1—five samples, CS2—three samples, CS3—two samples) where the ectomycorrhizal morphotype Pinirhiza sclerotina formed by the DSE fungus related to PAC Acephala macrosclerotiorum was present. The obtained data were processed as described in Materials and Methods. OTUs with lower similarity and coverage than 88% were assigned as non-identified together with incertae sedis species. Orders less abundant than 0.1% were excluded from the figure.
