A two-dimensional ordination by principal component analysis (PCA) of the bacteriomes. a The bacterial composition of apical (N = 22; light gray) and coronal root segments (N = 22; black) were not statistically significantly different (p = 0.899, one-way permutational multivariate analysis of variance; PERMANOVA). b The bacterial composition of fungi-positive (N = 20; dark gray) and fungi-negative root segments (N = 24; white) was statistically significantly different (p = 0.008; PERMANOVA). Principal components PC1, PC2 (not shown), and PC3 explained 20, 16, and 9 % of the overall variance among samples, respectively. Corresponding apical and coronal root segments are connected with a line
