Fig. 5: Temporal changes in phylogenetic structure and successional turnover in the bioreactor.
From: Community successional patterns and inter-kingdom interactions during granular biofilm development
Community phylogenetic structure is assessed via a net relatedness index (NRI) and b nearest taxon index (NTI). Null model analysis results between two successive sample points assessed by c, phylogenetic turnover based on βNTI, and by d, taxonomic turnover based on RCBray. Horizontal lines indicate thresholds for significant deviations from the null expectation. Vertical dashed lines represent the three stages of biomass granulation in the bioreactor: Stage 1 – Flocs; Stage 2 – Intermediate; Stage 3 – Granules.
