Figure 3: Taxonnomic profile of microbial communities.
From: Diversity, structure and convergent evolution of the global sponge microbiome
Average phylum-level taxonomic profile of microbial symbiont communities in 81 different sponge species, seawater and marine sediments. Colour scale shows relative abundance in percentage within each host species. The phylum Proteobacteria is shown as individual classes (including unclassified Proteobacteria), which are indicated by an asterisk. Black squares indicate zero counts. Columns and rows of the heatmap are ordered by Bray–Curtis dissimilarity of their taxonomic profiles (except for seawater and sediments). Sponge species abbrevations are outlined in Fig. 2.
