Figure 3 Louchart (2026): Principal Component Analysis on the eight individual-level functional traits of Microcystis. The PCA represents the functional space of the tested Microcystis strain, where each colour represents a set of specific treatment conditions including reference conditions as the control (purple), high pCO2 (+CO2; red), and limitation by nitrogen (orange), phosphorus (green) and light (blue). The density curves in the margin represent the distribution of the functional space of Microcystis for each condition along the first two dimensions of the PCA. Each point in the scatter plot represents an individual Microcystis cell. The length of the arrows indicates the correlation of the functional traits with the principal components.
