Bacterial and fungal α-diversity index of different samples
| Samples | OTUs (97%) | Chao index | Shannon index |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bacteria | |||
| D | 1143.44 ± 31.65a | 3574.26 ± 81.95a | 6.26 ± 0.04a |
| H | 1474.67 ± 13.33b | 4279.61 ± 171.97b | 6.46 ± 0.04b |
| Fungi | |||
| D | 85.78 ± 1.69a | 192.42 ± 7.68a | 2.85 ± 0.04a |
| H | 84.33 ± 1.45a | 191.36 ± 9.25a | 2.76 ± 0.04a |
D = diseased soil, H = healthy soil. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard error. Means followed by the same letter for a given factor are not significantly different (P < 0.05; Tukey’s honest significant difference test)
