Each index was calculated based on an equal amount of sequences (19,218 and 14,598 for Reactors 1 and 2, respectively) that were sub-sampled from the original libraries 10 times. For each index, a higher value represents a more diverse microbial community. c PCoA scatter plot of 16S rRNA sequences based on the weighted UniFrac distances.
