UPGMA clustering of soil DGGE fingerprints using the pearson moment-based similarity coefficient. Similarity percentages between Acinetobacter microbial populations using the PCR–DGGE specific system are indicated above. F.M. and F.H. correspond to microcosms F70MN and F70HNa while T1, T3, T4, T5, T6, T9 indicate the corresponding sampling time. Samples analysed in duplicate are indicated with the same name.
