Beta diversity analysis to estimate the dissimilarity and similarity of bacterial community composition among different samples.
(A) Heatmap derived from dissimilarity matrix of Bray-Curtis distance between bacterial community compositions. (B) Thetayc-based cluster analysis of bacterial community composition among the different samples. (C) Ordination plot derived from principal coordinated analysis showing the distance between samples or treatments. (D) NMDS (nonmetric multidimensional scaling) analysis showed the dispersion of OUTs in each sample. HRC1-3: healthy tomato root; HRS1-3: healthy tomato rhizosphere soil; IRC1-3: nematode-infected tomato root; IRS1-3: nematode-infected tomato rhizosphere soil.
