Fig 3. Microbial phyla by richness and abundance.

Fig 3

Top phyla by richness differ by environment type, with some abundance specificity by site location. (a-b) The top 10 bacterial and archaeal as well as eukaryal phyla across biological replicates of site locations for both seawater (SEA) and sediment (SED) environment types from most to least richness in the sediment in order of highest relative abundance to lowest. (c-d) The top 20 bacterial and archaeal as well as eukaryal classes, demonstrating variation in abundance by environment type and site location from a gray-scale gradient of white (0) to black (100). Common or rare phyla and classes can be additionally viewed by comparison of OTU tables.
