Fig. 5

NMDS plot illustrating the overall dissimilarities among hot water microbiota. Circles represent SWHs with copper (solid) or PEX (open) pipe incubated at varying temperatures (blue, 32 °C; cyan, 37 °C; green, 41 °C; brown, 45 °C; magenta, 49 °C; red, 53 °C) in comparison the control set maintained at 32 °C (triangles, Ctl32°C). Cross symbols represent influent water (after GAC filtration) at the time of 37 °C incubation. Labels of “7” above a symbol indicate 700 μg/L dosed AOC, while non-labeled conditions represent 0 and 30 μg/L dosed AOC. The trajectory lines (solid—copper; dashed—PEX) indicate the trend of microbiota changing with increasing temperatures
