Fig. 1From: Lifting the veil on arid-to-hyperarid Antarctic soil microbiomes: a tale of two oasesBubble plots of relative abundance (%) per site of phyla-level composition of OTUs (97% cut-off), based on bacterial 16S (mean = 490 bp), eukaryotic 18S (mean = 125 bp) and archaeal 16S (mean = 470 bp) SSU rRNA sequences representing > 0.001% of all normalised OTUs sorted by decreasing relative abundance. Greatest phylogenetic diversity is exhibited by bacteria followed by eukarya then archaea. Across all three domains, distribution of phyla abundances is generally uneven as a handful of taxa tend to dominate but strong compositional differences are apparent between the Windmill Islands and Vestfold Hills regionsBack to article page
