Characterization of microbes and denitrifiers attached to two species of floating plants in the wetlands of Lake Taihu - Fig 2

Total densities of bacteria and algae on the leaf, stem and root samples (A, expressed as log₁₀g^-1dry mass) and densities of bacteria (B, expressed as log₁₀cells cm^-2) and algae (C, expressed as log₁₀cells cm^-2) on the three leaf samples. Different small letters (a, b or ab) indicate significant differences among samples at p < 0.05 (Tukey’s test).
