Figure 2: PCoA using phylogenetic turnover as a distance metric.

Groundwater (GW) samples are separated by PC1 from Carbon filters (CF) and Chlorination (CHL) samples. Samples belonging to CF and CHL characterised by new (i.e. sterile) carbon filters (CC) are more similar to GW than to CF and CHL samples (see the text for further details). Samples deriving from a different DWTP (Site 2) are circled white. A-B-C barplot describes the phyla distribution of ultra-small bacteria recovered in the different sampling points.
