Fig. 5. Root and phycosphere bacteria colonize At and Cr and assemble into taxonomically equivalent communities.

a Strain-level beta diversity analysis of soil (n = 26), root (n = 57), and phycosphere (n = 66) bacterial community profiles, from gnotobiotic At and Cr, inoculated with bacterial SynComs derived from At roots (At-SPHERE), Cr (Cr-SPHERE), or mixed (At- and Cr-SPHERE), grown in the FlowPot system. b CPCoA of Bray–Curtis dissimilarities of the same samples, aggregated at the bacterial family level (6.4% of the variance; P < 0.001). c, d Aggregated relative abundances of At- and Cr-derived strains in the mixed SynCom in a soil-derived (n = 149, c), and liquid-based (n = 18, d) gnotobiotic system. A Kruskal–Wallis test followed by a Dunn’s post hoc was used to assess significant differences among groups (P < 0.05). Corresponds to experiment G (Supplementary Fig. 1g and Supplementary Table 1).
