Figure 4.

Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) visualization of cultured microbial community composition across sampled species. A. Ordination of the 79 species/media combination objects in multivariate space of sampled species yielding high OTU richness. Each object color indicates the sampled species, and the object shape indicates the associated culture condition. B. Bacterial family variable loadings on NMDS axes 1 and 2. The length of the vectors indicates the strength of the associated variable for describing the NMDS axes. The direction of the vectors indicates the direction of the associated variable gradients in ordination space. Only variable loadings (microbial families) contributing significantly (P < 0.01) to the ordination are included.
