Metabarcoding Analysis of Bacterial Communities Associated with Media Grow Bed Zones in an Aquaponic System

Figure 3

Classification of reads from dry zone, root zone, mineralized zone, and effluent water from the media grow bed at phylum level indicated as percentage of the population. Phyla that were represented in all zones below 0.5% of total community are displayed under “other phyla,” which contained the phyla Armatimonadetes, Cloacimonetes, Epsilonbacteraeota, Elusimicrobia, Fibrobacteres, Fusobacteria, Hydrogenedentes, Kiritimatiellaeota, Lentisphaerae, Omnitrophicaeota, Spirochaetes, Tenericutes, candidate division BRC1, WPS-2, and FCPU426.
