Diversity of bacteria populations associated with different thallus regions of the brown alga Laminaria digitata
Fig 2
Species richness, sequencing depth and alpha diversity measures of the microbial communities associated with holdfast (HF), stipe (SP), meristem (MST) and blade (BD) of L. digitata.
Boxplot; middle is median, outer margins are 25th & 75th percentiles; whiskers cover points within 1.5 interquartile ranges.
