FIG 2.

Composition of total and cultured bacterial communities on leaves and in associated water and soil samples. Culture-independent (total) communities are averages of 4 to 8 individual samples. Pooled cultured communities (cultured) reflect averages from two separate sampling times. Shown are orders that comprised at least 2% of the sequences in at least one sample of a given habitat. Unclassified orders are indicated by “n/a.” The culture-independent community of romaine as described previously by Rastogi et al. (27) is also included (“Rastogi*”).
