Differences in soil communities of bacteria (A - assayed by 16S microarray hybridization, and B - by 16S rRNA gene Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing), archaea (C - 16S Illumina), and eukaryotes (D - 18S Illumina), and the relationships to other biological and chemical characteristics of tuberosphere soil. Samples of tuberosphere (circles - susceptible potato cultivar Agria; squares - resistant cultivar Kariera), and bulk soil (pentagons) were from the fields suppressive (open symbols) and conducive (grey symbols) to the potato common scab. Non-metric multidimensional scaling of distance matrices was based on Bray-Curtis calculator with fitted vectors of environmental variables. The vector length shows the relative strengths of contributions/responses. Vectors are pointing to the same direction for positively correlated variables, and to the opposite direction for negatively correlated ones; perpendicular vectors indicate no mutual relationship.
