From: Spatial scales of bacterial community diversity at cold seeps (Eastern Mediterranean Sea)
Non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis depicting differences in the bacterial community structure between seep (black symbols) and non-seep sites (red symbols) of three cold seep regions, as derived from ARISA-based data. Convex hulls depict significant differences between the groups, as determined by analysis of similarity (R=0.8, Bonferroni’s P=0.001). Pooled (0–5 cm) samples per site were used to calculate Bray–Curtis dissimilarity matrix.
