Fig. 1 Pattern of ordination of 16S rRNA bacterial community T-RFLP Lido Burrone; squares, mid-line samples; circles, shore-line samples;
profiles. a Nonmetric Muldimensional Scaling (nMDS); b) UPGMA triangles, upper-line samples. Black-filled symbols, Faraglioni, grey-filled
clustering. Cophenetic correlation coefficient=0.9098. In CCA each symbols, Lido Burrone; white-filled symbols, Praja. Vectors for humidity
point represents a DNA sample for the beaches of Faraglioni, Praja and (%) and organic carbon (%) are reported

different localities (beaches) were detected, in particular when dendrogram highlighted a strong differentiation of Faraglioni
cluster analysis was applied (Fig. 1b). In fact, UPGMA beach samples from Lido Burrone and Praja samples. In
