Microbial communities associated with beads. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) ordination of microbial communities from deployment locations FOC (A), KSK (B) and HEC (C). Bead-coatings and incubation times are color-coded. Community dissimilarities are based on the proportionality metric φ. Ellipses indicate 95% confidence range. Each data point represents a microbial community as characterized by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.
