Total bacterial community analysis. (a) Unweighted UniFrac principal coordinate analysis of the total bacterial diversity of E. huxleyi () and C. pelagicus f. braarudii () cultures. (b) Rarefaction analysis of shared 16S clone library diversity at OTU clustering levels of 0.01 (black ), 0.05 (grey ▲), and 0.1 (grey ) was based on an average of 79 sequenced clones per library.
