Principal component analysis of bacterial communities in abalone seed-nursing ecosystem samples.

Abstract

<p>A, with water samples; B, without water samples; blue square, water; green circle, adherent substrate; red triangle, abalone; Arabic numerals, sampling days. Results were plotted using Canoco for Windows 4.5, and the 5,000 most abundant operational taxonomic units of the analyzed samples were used in this analysis. Log transformation (Y' = log (Y + 1)).</p
