Figure 5.
Unweighted-pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrograms based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarities of total bacteria in summer (A) and winter samples (B) of the three stations (marine, mesohaline, oligohaline). And non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) for particle-associated (PA) and free-living (FL) bacteria in summer (C) and winter samples (D) of the three stations, with light gray: stations considered as “marine” (mar), dark gray: stations considered as “mesohaline” (meso) and black: stations considered as “oligohaline” (oligo). So, summer; Wi, winter; squares, PA; and dots, FL.
