FIG 1.

Dendrogram of bacterial community dissimilarity across University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee RAS components. The dendrogram was created using average-linkage Bray-Curtis dissimilarity of bacterial communities between RAS components. Leaves are labeled by date and sample site within the RAS. Sample site references are as follows, in order of process flow: Tank, rearing tank; pH, pH buffering tank; Clar, clarifier sludge; ClarOut, clarifier effluent; Bfsand, biofilter sand substrate, BfOut, biofilter effluent; Degas, carbon dioxide degassing tower.
