Figure 3: — Microbiome functional capabilities of beach sand metagenomes from a study of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (16) (BioProject PRJNA260285) differ across phases. The samples were collected from four phases, including Pre-oil phase (OS-S1, OS-S2, OS-S3 and OS-S4), Oil phase 1 (OS-A, OS-B, OS-C and OS-D), Oil phase 2 (OS-E, OS-F, OS-G and OS-H) and Recovery phase (OS-I600, OS-I606, OS-J598 and OS-J604). The distances between samples in this non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) graph represent the variation between sample function profiles. Samples from Pre-oil phase, Oil phases and Recovery phase localize separately. Oil phase samples are closer to Recovery phase samples than to Pre-oil phase samples.
