Midgut Microbiota of the Malaria Mosquito Vector Anopheles gambiae and Interactions with Plasmodium falciparum Infection (original) (raw)
Figure 3
Redundancy analysis for gut bacterial communities (taxonomic rank = class) in field and laboratory mosquitoes.
The length of arrows indicates the strength of correlation between the variable and the ordination scores. Blue arrow: bacterial classes, green arrow: environmental variables. The Monte Carlo permutation test was used to test the statistical significance of the relationship between environmental variables and the bacterial classes. The “Flavo” (Flavobacteriaceae) segregates with “labo” environmental variable, “Alpha” (Alphabacteriaceae) with the “NKD” environmental variable (P<0.05). All other bacterial classes segregate along the second axis, with the “Mvan” environmental variable.
