Analysis of abundances of bacterial 16S rDNA sequences at Phylum level, structure estimated for total population (Rt), and each individual (R1–R10). The phylum-specific dissimilarities for each phylum individually and the overall average dissimilarity are presented. Calculated by SIMPER analysis based on Bray-Curtis similarity measure.
