a Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities between microbial compositions of 16S rDNAdatasetgrouped according to sample types. Each ellipse represents a set of the three sample types collected from each hot spring. The boxes 1 - 3 represent wet sediments, mats and water samples from 83.6 ºC, 4 - 6 represent wet sediments, mats and water samples from 81 ºC and 7 - 9 represent wet sediments, mats and water samples from 45.1 ºC. b Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities between microbial compositions of 16S rRNA cDNA dataset grouped according to sample types.
