Figure 6

Models of typical bacterial ecological type response to the supplemented 13C-labelled substrates. Sequences were divided into nine clades (see Fig. 5). Boxplot indicates the relative abundance of OTU sequences in in-situ communities (IS), light (L), and heavy (H) fractions. The top and bottom boundaries of each box indicate 75th and 25th quartile values, respectively, and the black lines inside each box represent the 50th quartile (median) values. The ends of the whiskers mark the lowest and highest values, excluding outliers (black circles).
