FIGURE 2.
Taxonomic composition of bacterial and fungal communities associated with Q. aliena root tips and the surrounding soil at the phylum and class levels analyzed using barcoded sequencing. ECM, ectomycorrhizae; ECM.S, ectomycorrhizosphere soil; CK, roots of Q. aliena without T. indicum partner; CK.S, rhizosphere soil of Q. aliena without T. indicum partner. (A) Bacterial phyla; (B) bacterial classes; (C) fungal phyla; (D) fungal classes. The Y axis indicated the relative abundance of each taxon. All experiments were conducted in triplicates.
