Number of potentially amplified species for different prokaryotic phyla in the wgs-embl-pro database revealed by ecoPCR by increasing mismatches allowed on both forward and reverse primers.

<p>The overlaid heatmap (white = 0, darkest = maximum number of sequences) illustrates rising anticipated amplification success with increasing mismatches and was applied per row (i.e. heatmap is proportional to the sequence number available per phylum). The in-cell bar illustrates the relative contribution of the phyla in the used database.</p

NMDS ordination plots of bacterial community structure in soil (a, c) and wood (b, d) samples using different primer sets: 1406f/23Sr (a, b) and ITSF/ITSReub (c, d).

<p>Stress values from the NMDS ordinations and <i>R</i>_{<i>ANOSIM</i>} based on Bray-Curtis (<i>R</i>_<i>b</i>) and Jaccard (<i>R</i>_<i>j</i>) distance measures are shown on the right. Square = fertilized soil, circle = unfertilized soil, hexagon = <i>Picea abies</i>, triangle = <i>Fagus sylvatica</i>. Each number (1 to 5) represents one individual replicate.</p
