Ecosystem engineers drive differing microbial community composition in intertidal estuarine sediments
Fig 3
Bacterial community composition for mesocosm sediments at 0, 15, 30 and 45 mm depths.
Taxa are at phylum level except Proteobacteria which are at class level. The community composition of the source sediment is included as T0. C. v.–C. volutator; H. d.–H. diversicolor; Mixed–Mixed infauna; MPB–Microphytobenthos only; Man. Turb.–Manual-turbation.
