Figure 1

Microbe community composition (β-diversity) differs between maize and soybean in (a) endosphere (b) RHZ and (c) soil microbial communities from ambient atmospheric conditions. Principal coordinate visualization (PCoA) using the weighted UniFrac distance (WUF) matrix shows significant difference between microbial community composition based on crop species grown as detected by permutational MANOVA in each sample type (p = 0.001).
