NMDS analysis of DGGE fingerprints.

<p>A Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling plot (stress: 0.1986) of DGGE band presence/absence in technical and biological replicates of bacterial communities derived from the five plant lines is shown. Colour code: yellow: Ler wild type communities, pink: <i>cer</i>1 communities, green: <i>cer</i>6 communities, dark blue: <i>cer</i>9 communities, light blue: <i>cer</i>16 communities. Dot size represents number of replicates falling together on the same spot in the plot.
