Extended Data Fig. 5: Metagenomic characterization of soil microbiomes and a synthetic community upon Verticillium dahliae inoculation or VdAve1 treatment.
From: Microbiome manipulation by a soil-borne fungal plant pathogen using effector proteins
a, Relative abundance of bacterial phyla or families in a synthetic community (Syncom), in MS medium supplemented with soil, and in soil after inoculation with wild-type V. dahliae (WT), a VdAve1 deletion strain, or treatment with purified VdAve1. b, Impact of V. dahliae inoculation or VdAve1 treatment on α-diversity in the microbiomes as shown in a (unpaired two-sided student’s t-test; N=3) (one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test; p<0.05; N=5 for all experimental conditions except for soil with V. dahliae WT for which N=4). The plot for the syncom displays the average Shannon index ± SD. Whiskers of the boxplots as shown for the microbial communities in MS + soil and soil display the upper and lower quartile; the boxes display the interquartile range and the thick line displays the median.
