  1. OTU operational taxonomic units
  2. OTUs were calculated by the RDP pipeline with a 97% OTU cut-off of the 16S rRNA gene sequences. Diversity indices of the microbial communities and numbers of phyla and genera were calculated using the RDP pyrosequencing pipeline based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences
