a

The relative abundance in a bacterial isolate collection is shown in percentage.

b

SU and CO stand for the surface and core portions of main roots of sugar beet, respectively.

c

Sequences were classified using the Classifier of Ribosomal Database Project II release 10 with a confidence threshold 80%.

*, **

indicate statistical significance examined by the Library Compare of Ribosomal Database Project II at p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively, between SU and CO in each medium.

†, ††

indicate statistical significance examined by the Library Compare of Ribosomal Database Project II at p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively, between R2A and HM in each of SU and CO.
