From: Dynamic prokaryotic communities in the dark western Mediterranean Sea
Composition of the meso- and bathypelagic prokaryotic communities. (a) Contribution of prokaryotic families to the community in the different water masses. Families that contribute ≥ 0.8% in at least one water mass are shown. Phylotypes are ordered according to the hierarchical clustering based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index using the ‘heatmap’ function in the ‘gplot’ package of R. (b) Phylotypes at family level that change their contribution ≥ 0.5% among the different water masses. Change between LIW and oWMDW in light grey and change between oWMDW and bottom in dark grey. Legends indicate Order_Family. NA: not assigned; LIW: Levantine intermediate water; oWMDW: old western Mediterranean deep water.
