Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Fig microbial communities were dominated by Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota and Actinobacteriota.
- Observation Microbial communities of fig exteriors and interiors could be distinguished.
- Observation Microbial alpha diversity was comparable between fig exteriors and interiors.
- Observation A joint analysis of fig and published C. elegans substrate microbiomes revealed similarities and differences among the biotic environments of the two nematode sister species.
- Observation Fig microbial community composition was driven largely by variation among individual plants.
- Association Nematodes had no detectable impact on fig microbial community composition or alpha diversity.
- Association A handful of ASVs (genera Ochrobactrum and Stenotrophomonas) showed potential differential abundance among figs varying in nematode occupancy.
- Association Foundress wasp number was negatively correlated with microbial alpha diversity.
