Figure 5.

Redundancy analysis of the effect of CH₄ concentration and temperature on the MOB communities after incubation (pmoA transcripts using the A189F/mb661R primer pair). The effect of CH₄ concentration and temperature was corrected according to the peat block replicates (represented by gray shaded lines). Samples are labeled according to CH₄ concentration (light colors—0.1% CH₄, dark colors—1% CH₄) and temperature (blue—8 °C and red—15 °C). The black lines indicate a projection of the measured CH₄ oxidation rates (µg of CH₄ oxidized per gram dry soil and day).
