Analysis of Phyllosphere Bacteria Taxa LEfSe in Samples from
Different Regions
A KW sum-rank test was performed using the LEfSe algorithm to compare
the distribution of OTUs between the leaves of rubber trees in different
regions. These results showed that five OTUs were distributed in BS,
three in DZ, five in WN, and 24 in WZS. Cyanobacteria were the
most abundant taxon in BS, Oxalobacteraceae in DZ, Pseudomonadales in
WN, and both Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria in WZS
(Figure 4).
The plotted cladogram analysis also revealed which community taxa had
significantly different impacts on distinguishing samples by region
(Figure 5). These taxa were Cyanobacteria in BS,Methylobacterium in DZ, Firmicutes in WN, andProteobacteria and Acidobacteria in WZS.
