Fig. 1

The taxonomic classification of endophytic bacterial communities between gall (treatment 1) and non-infected rice root (treatment 2). A: Cluster dendrogram using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix shows the distinct separation of communities in the two treatment sets at OTU level. B: Taxonomic composition of the most abundant bacterial genera per sample among the different treatment sets. C: The differentially abundant OTUs between the two treatment sets were presented in Dot Plot. Site name indicates the replica number (3) for each group: Gall (Infected) and Non-infected (Healthy). The size of each dot represents centered log ratio (clr)-transformed sequences counts. Values higher than zero indicate enrichment compared to the other OTUs per sample. The taxonomic affiliation of each OTU is provided on class (left side) and genus level (right side). Pink color represents isolate extracted from gall (infected set) and green colour represents isolates belonging to non-infected (healthy) roots
