Community structure of Cand. Patescibacteria in soil, seepage and groundwater. (A) Changes in the relative fraction of Cand. Patescibacteria within the bacterial communities from soil via seepage to groundwater and (B) changes in the order-level community structure of Cand. Patescibacteria (family level for Cand. Kaiserbacteraceae, Cand. Nomurabacteraceae and unclassified UBA9983; class level for Cand. Gracilibacteria and Cand. Saccharimonadia) from soil to seepage and groundwater and along the groundwater observation transect (lower aquifer assemblage). Data are based on 16S rRNA gene-targeted Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing and represent mean values of 10 spatial replicates for soil, mean values from five lysimeters with each one sampling time point except for H1L1-2 (n = 6) (total n = 11), and one (H13), two (H31) or six different sampling time points for groundwater (total n = 15). Seepage and groundwater samples integrate data from the 0.1 and 0.2 μm filter fractions.
