Taxonomic profiles of 41 termite gut bacterial communities. a Tree based on the calculated Bray-Curtis dissimilarity in bacterial community structure based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, together with the distribution of OTUs into major bacterial phyla and heat map representation of relative abundance of dominant OTUs from major phyla in plant fibre- and soil-feeding termite clusters. ANOSIM R was equal to 0.91 with p < 0.001. b Box plot representation of average richness (number of observed OTUs inferred using sobs calculator) and diversity (inferred using the inverse of the Simpson diversity estimator) of termite gut bacterial communities in plant fibre and soil feeder clusters
