Bacterial Diversity and Antibiotic Resistance Genes Associated with the Different Farming Systems of Black Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in Bangladesh

Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity for bacterial community profiles. Each data point in the graph stands for a sample. The distance between data points reflects the extent of variation. Samples belongs to the same group are in the same color. When the value of stress factor is less than 0.2, it’s considered that NMDS is reliable to some extent. Here, stress value was 0.142, so NMDS was reliable. As shown in the figure, gut, sediment, and water (SG, SS, and SW); farming system (C: cluster; E: extensive; SI: semi-intensive; IE: improved extensive).
