Fig. 1. Microbial diversity and enriched/depleted OTUs among four mangrove root compartments.

Fig. 1

a Boxplot of Shannon index and richness. The horizontal line that intersects the box is the median. The tops and bottoms of boxes represent 75th and 25th quartiles, respectively. The upper and lower whiskers extend 1.5× the interquartile range from the upper edge and lower edge of the box, respectively. Letters depict significant differences across compartments. b Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of bacterial and fungal communities, and the 95% confidence ellipses are shown around the samples and grouped based on four root-related compartments. c Enriched and depleted bacterial and fungal OTUs in rhizosphere, episphere, and endosphere compartments compared to the non-rhizosphere control. Each point represents an individual OTU, and the position along the y-axis represents the abundance fold change. d Number of differentially enriched and depleted OTUs of bacteria and fungi in each compartment. N: non-rhizosphere, R: rhizosphere, P: episphere, D: endosphere.
