Figure 3
Analysis of the cultivable microbial community of Mytilus spp. individuals. 2D MDS plots were calculated on the basis of abundance data (CFU) of isolated bacterial and fungal orders. Mussel individuals are indicated by sample numbers 1–19 and the respective genetic background by differently colored shapes. Blue triangles: pure Mt; red triangles: Mt-like hybrid; green squares: intermediate hybrid; pink diamonds: pure Me. Me-like hybrid genotype is not represented because no individuals of that genotype were detected in this study (see Fig. 1). Three clusters are highlighted as “Cultivation_1”, “Cultivation_2” and “Cultivation_3”.
