Sample Point Microbial fingerprint Relative Richness B Relative Evenness D Relative Diversity E Similarity between replicates (%) F
Mean (St.Dev.) C Mean (St.Dev.) C Mean (St.Dev.) C
Day 0 Bacteria A 3 & 5 0.89 & 0.95 1.04 & 1.43 36.30
Archaea 8 (2.39) 0.92 (0.02) 1.90 (0.28) 66.54

Day 28 Bacteria 37 (4.59) 0.97 (0.01) 3.48 (0.13) 52.83
Archaea 11 (1.20) 0.89 (0.01) 2.15 (0.11) 85.80
Fungi 24 (13.51) 0.91 (0.06) 2.77 (0.67) 25.38

A n = 2 therefore no average could be calculated, both values are presented

B Number of T-RFs

C Standard deviation

D Pielou's Index

E Shannon's Index

F SIMPER analysis.
