Fig. 4. Phycosphere reconstitution using bacterial SynComs derived from the Cr-SPHERE core culture collection.

Fig. 4

Cr growth in the gnotobiotic system axenically (n = 36) or in co-inoculation with the bacterial SynCom (n = 36), measured as algal cell densities (a), and chlorophyll fluorescence (b). A Mann–Whitney test was used to assess significant differences among groups (FDR-corrected; P < 0.05). c Strain-level beta-diversity analysis (CPCoA of Bray–Curtis dissimilarities; 40.4% of the variance; P < 0.001) of bacterial communities from samples obtained from a liquid-based gnotobiotic system. Samples are color-coded based on the experimental condition: input SynCom samples (black; n = 9), synthetic phycospheres (light green; n = 27), and SynCom only controls (blue; n = 25). d Bar charts showing relative abundances of individual SynCom members across conditions and time points. Corresponds to experiment F (Supplementary Fig. 1f and Supplementary Table 1).
