Microbial and Chemical Characterization of Underwater Fresh Water Springs in the Dead Sea
Figure 9
Graphical representation of the sequence frequency in the studied Dead Sea samples, showing major detected phyla and families of different functional groups of Bacteria.
PSB and PNSB in panel B refer to purple sulfur and non sulfur bacteria, respectively. The different genera within the families Chlorobiaceae,Campylobacteraceae and Helicobacteraceaeare shown to facilitate a more specific sample comparison. The symbols and sample naming are explained in detail in Fig. 8. Note different legends for OTU/path for each panel, and scale-bars for relative sequence frequency for several combined panels.
