Figure 3. Diversity measure of the transconjugant sewage community. The top row of plots shows phylogenetic alpha diversity measures of the sewage community transconjugant pools of pB10 and R27, colored and plotted on the x-axis as “Plasmid”. Boxplot a) shows on the y-axis Faith’s Phylogenetic Diversity (PD). Boxplot b) shows on the y-axis mean pairwise distance (MPD). The bottom row of plots shows beta diversity, measured by weighted Unifrac distances, between the sewage community transconjugant pools and the recipient sewage community. Dot plot c) shows a Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) of the weighted Unifrac distance, colored according to sample group. Boxplot d) shows on the y-axis the pairwise weighted Unifrac distance (WGT. Unifrac dist.), colored and plotted on the x-axis according to the group pair (Sample Group).
