Relationship between community productivity and species richness. Black line shows linear regression for all data points (F1, 264=60.1, R2=0.19, P<0.001). Each point is the mean productivity of five replicate communities. Points are coloured by the presence or absence of C. flavigena D13 and Paenibacillus sp. A8 and linear regressions between community productivity and species richness are shown for each of these groups: green points represent communities containing both these species (F1, 28=0.42, P>0.05); red points represent communities containing C. flavigena D13 (F1, 50=4.43, P<0.05); blue points represent communities containing Paenibacillus sp. A8 (F1, 50=1.01, P>0.05); grey points represent communities containing neither of these species (F1, 129=60.1, P<0.001). Productivity is measured as the cumulative change in OD595 of MicroResp indicator plate after 7 days growth.
