Table 1.
Fungal and bacterial richness and diversity indices of the conducive soil (C), mixed soil (M), suppressive soil (S), and pathogen-inoculated suppressive soil (IS).

Means were calculated from three replicates per soil (C, M, S, and IS). Standard errors of the means are indicated in parentheses. Significant differences among soils are indicated by letters (a–a,b–b).
