Fig. 4: Phylogenetic tree of bacterial taxa based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and associated growth responses in presence of SRO minerals.

From: Soil minerals affect taxon-specific bacterial growth

Fig. 4

The phylogenetic tree is colored by phylum and labeled by phylogenetic group. The heatmap depicts the direction and magnitude of the slope of excess atom fraction (EAF) 18O per ASV over short-range order (SRO) mineral proportion within soil. Negative slopes correspond to amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) which grew less in soil with greater SRO minerals (indicating SRO suppression on growth) and positive slopes (red) correspond to ASVs which had positive correlation of relative growth rate and SRO mineral content (SRO stimulation on growth).
