Actinomycetes	17.59 ± 1.48	17.97 ± 1.15
Fungi	7.47 ± 0.45	7.25 ± 0.60
Eukaryote	333.39 ± 3.25	334.30 ± 2.65
Not Assigned	251.71 ± 2.51	251.59 ± 2.01
Total PLFA	1451.05 ± 3.14	1459.02 ± 2.15

Each value represents the mean ± SD (n = 3) and no significant difference was observed between the treatments.
