Table 2. Bacterial OTUs identified from Caliph medic roots based on 16S rRNA DNA sequences and the mean of abundance in the libraries prepared from the control and salinity-treated plants.

Significant enrichment (p ≤ 0.05) of a certain OTU was calculated based on three biological replicates. The OTUs were arranged based on the descending p-value.
