Thermocline and hypolimnion microbial community composition in June.

<p>The datasets are grouped on the X-axis first by the sampling site, then by the sample physical state (free-living, FL; particle-associated, PA), then by the sampling depth (Bottom, hypolimnion; Middle, thermocline). (A) The community composition is shown at the phylum level (or class level for Proteobacteria). “Others” denote all phyla with < 1% total abundance, and “unclassified” denote the percentage abundance of sequences that could not be classified with accuracy at the phylum level. (B-G) Sub-class level classification of (B) Bacteroidetes, (C) Gamma-Proteobacteria, (D) Beta-Proteobacteria, and (E) Verrucomicrobia, (F) Planctomycetes, and Alpha-Proteobacteria. The Y-axis in (B-G) shows percentage within total Phylum/Class sequences identified.
