Dendrogram constructed using T-RFLP and RT-T-RFLP profiles generated from the sample set. A dendrogram was constructed using the results of Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA), using Dice measure, of the T-RFLP and RT-T-RFLP profile data. HCA results in the formation of clusters in which profiles are iteratively joined in a descending order of similarity.
