Heatmaps for the relative abundance of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) for the 16S rRNA gene of P. cupana leaf-associated endophytic bacteria (n = 612). The relative abundance for the OTUs at 97 and 95% levels of similarity is shown at the left and right side, respectively. Side-by-side lines represent OTUs shared by asymptomatic and symptomatic anthracnose plants. The OTUs with a low frequency of sequences (less than 0.14) are represented by black lines, while OTUs with a higher frequency of sequences (higher than 0.16) are represented by red lines.
