FIGURE 5.
Comparison of microbiota in samples 3 (farm A) and 4 (farm B) as detected by the cultivation (3-I, 4-I) and molecular (3-A, 4-A) approaches. (A) Relative abundance of families. Only families >1% in at least one analysis are listed. i.s., incertae sedis; n.d., not detected. (B) Relative abundance of phyla. C., Candidatus. (C) Phylogram based on the Ward’s minimum variance method showing the hierarchical clustering of samples. Genus-level data were used to calculate distances; only the 57 genera detected at least once by both the cultivation-dependent and –independent analyses were included.
