Overview of the negative impact of AgNP on the microbial diversity of bioreactor communities. Rarefraction curves depicting the (A) number of observed species and (B) Faith’s phylogenetic index of the different bioreactor treatments revealing a dramatic decrease in taxa upon exposure to AgNP in a range of concentrations (1.0 mg/L; 2.0 mg/L; and 3.0 mg/L). (C) PCoA plot comparing the different sequencing replicates of the bioreactor treatments revealing that the majority of the differences observed between the microbial population is the due to the presence of AgNP.
