Fig. 6: Co-ooccurrence of Delftia sp. and Bacillus sp. is prevalent in soil environments and is influenced by soil arsenic concentrations.
From: Two-tiered mutualism improves survival and competitiveness of cross-feeding soil bacteria
The abundance changes of Delftia sp. and Bacillus sp. in soils amended with different concentrations of arsenic as MAs(V) (A) or As(III) (B). The comparative control entails the treatment without the addition of arsenic. C Maps of 103 soil samples collected from different climatic zones in China. D Correlation between the relative abundances of Delftia sp. and Bacillus sp, with points showing the co-occurrence in 88 soil samples. Correlations of relative abundances of Delftia sp. (E) and Bacillus sp. (F) with soil arsenic concentrations.
