Graphical representation of the mean and standard deviation by protocol in terms the total number of sequences (a), observed richness (b), and the Shannon-Wiener index (c). Means and standard deviations were computed for three replicates per protocol. The observed richness and Shannon-Wiener index values were computed after rarefaction to the smallest number of sequences per sample as a threshold.
