1. Beta-diversity analyses of microbial taxa recovered from ATM keypads.
Beta-diversity analyses of microbial taxa recovered from ATM keypads. Data represent results of unweighted Unifrac PCoAs for 16S rRNA for bacteria/archaea (A to C) and 18S rRNA for eukaryotes (D to F), showing no obvious clustering of microbial assemblages according to NYC neighborhood (A and D), census population demographics (race group with highest proportion in each neighborhood) (B and E), or type of site where ATM was located (F). The strongest clustering pattern in the data set was a technical artifact observed for 16S rRNA samples sequenced across two Illumina MiSeq runs (C).
