TABLE 4.
Alpha diversity metrics based on the relative abundances of genera, detected using fragment recruitment plotting, in the different fruit samples examined through shotgun metagenomic sequencing.
| Sample | Simpson (D) | Pielou (Je) |
| WGF | 0.62 | 0.36 |
| MFC | 0.81 | 0.61 |
| MFO | 0.89 | 0.71 |
| PFA | 0.94 | 0.83 |
| PFR | 0.92 | 0.77 |
| PAU | 0.73 | 0.56 |
| PAA | 0.93 | 0.81 |
| PAR1 | 0.87 | 0.64 |
| PAR2 | 0.75 | 0.51 |
The Simpson (D) and Pielou (Je) indexes were calculated for all samples to measure their diversity and evenness, respectively. WGF, white guava fruits; MFC, closed medlar flowers; MFO, open medlar flowers; PFA, almost ripe passion fruits; PFR, ripe passion fruits; PAU, unripe papaya fruits; PAA, almost ripe papaya fruits; PAR1 and PAR2, ripe papaya fruits.
