(A) Similarities between the 1H NMR spectra of reference polysaccharides and polysaccharides extracted from various anaerobic granules (AnG) represented by non-parametric multidimensional scaling. Stress = 0.07; values < 0.1 indicate an acceptable representation of the structure of the data set by the ordination42. (B) Hierarchical clustering of the 1H NMR spectra of reference and granular sludge polysaccharides based on Bray-Curtis similarity. The cophenetic correlation coefficient, which indicates the validity of the cluster information, was 0.88; values higher than 0.8 are considered to represent well the pattern of similarities43,44.
