Comparison of 18S rRNA fingerprints at the start and end of three incubation experiments.

<p>(A) Stacked bar chart showing the relative intensity of the sequenced gel bands in each lane from filtered and unfiltered samples taken at the start and end of the incubation within the three experiments. Each color of the stacked bars represents one band and the length corresponds to the relative band intensity. (B) Numbered arrows indicate sequenced bands in the inverted DGGE image. (C) Information on the phylogenetic affiliation and trophic functions of sequenced bands with the band numbers referring to the bands in the DGGE image and the color code referring to the stacked bars chart.
