High-throughput analysis of Gut microbial richness and diversity having 97% similarity index

Group	Observed Species	Shannon	Simpson	Chao1	ACE	Good's coverage	Evenness
Patients	221.80	4.42	0.870	254.66	257.20	0.9994	0.340
Control	244.20	4.63	0.910	282.87	302.42	0.9998	0.356
P*	0.041	0.267	0.092	0.016	0.012	0.037	0.271

The values denoted in the table are the mean values of each group, significant findings were testified with (unpaired t-test) and (P<0.05). The evenness (Shannon) estimation was conducted by applying formula

E = H/ln(S), where H is the Shannon diversity index and S is the total number of sequences in that group.
