Fig. 2: Multi-domain community structure by RNA-Seq.
From: Community RNA-Seq: multi-kingdom responses to living versus decaying roots in soil
Community RNA-Seq non-metric multidimensional scaling ordinations are presented for A Bacteria and Archaea (assembled 16S rRNA), and B Eukarya (assembled 18S rRNA) in Avena fatua rhizosphere and bulk soil, in response to four growing root and root-litter amendment treatments (n = 3). Soil was sampled 3 days after fresh root growth into a microcosm auxiliary root chamber (sidecar). Filled symbols represent bulk soil, and hollow symbols represent rhizosphere soil. Squares indicate litter-amended soil treatments, and circles indicate soils with no added litter. Ovals represent the 95% standard error of the weighted average of scores per group (r package: ordiellipse) for litter (dashed lines) and no litter treatments (solid lines).
