Fig. 4

WI, SP, SU, and FA represent winter, spring, summer, and fall, respectively. a Phyla (which represent >3% of sequences) and the Proteobacterial class (inset) distributions are presented as the percent of total communities for the seawater and control membrane groups; b Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) analysis of microbial abundance with cladogram of microbial communities in comparison of seawater and control membrane; c Heatmap of the genus level composition of the top 20 species.
