Diversity is affected by bacteriocin presence/absence. Each dot is a metagenome with or without the corresponding bacteriocin (colors). The number of genomes detected (y-axis) reflects the diversity within a species at a given abundance, here quantified as the number of reads (x-axis) after all metagenomes were rarefied to the same total number of reads (1 million). The lines are regression lines, and the p-values in parentheses indicate if there is a significant difference in levels of the regression lines
