Figure 1

Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plots of the gammaproteobacterial communities inhabiting rhizosphere soil (A), endorhiza (B), pseudostem (C), and leaves (D) of banana plants infected by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (FOC) in comparison to healthy plants. PCoA biplots are based on weighted UniFrac distances of gammaproteobacterial 16 S rRNA gene amplicon libraries jackknife-supported by ten replicates. The plots indicate grouping of samples by country separating samples from healthy (green) and infested (red) plants, whereby different colored symbols point to individual farms. Statistical comparisons of healthy and FOC-infected plants based on weighted UniFrac distances are shown in the Supplementary Information (Table S2).
