Fig 5. Abundance of each taxon within the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities.

Fig 5

(A) Roots of M. sativa, (B) roots or P. arundinacea, each either without inoculation (NI), inoculated in-situ (in-situ) or pre-inoculated (pre) with R. irregularis. Boxes show copy numbers of nuclear ribosomal DNA, empty boxes refer to R. irregularis, the other, non-inoculated taxa are distinguished by colors (F. mosseae—blue, C. claroideum—green, uncultured Glomeraceae—yellow). D6 and D12 are directly inoculated donor plants harvested after six or 12 weeks, respectively; N6 are six-week old neighboring plants. Boxes are means of 4–6 replicates, for exact replicate numbers see S12 Table. Vertical lines show SD for the abundance of R. irregularis or the sum of abundances of the non-inoculated AMF taxa. Asterisks refer to the same values as the SD and indicate, within D6, D12 or N6, significant difference from the non-inoculated treatment at P < 0.05 according to Dunnett's test.
