A Non-metric MultiDimensional Scaling (NMDS) ordination diagram of 16S rRNA Operational Taxonomic Units (OTU0.03) in samples collected from the inflows at each microbialite site. B Phylogenetic classification and relative abundance of the 50 most numerically abundant OTUs. CR-2018, SK-2018, OV745-2018, and TP-2018 samples were collected in January 2018, while OV745-2019 samples were collected in January 2019, and CR-2019 and SK-2019 sampling were conducted in August 2019.
