a An illustration of the experimental design. b Taxonomic comparison at the order level. MAGs reconstructed from early (left) and late stage (right) with ranks ordered from bottom to top by their decreasing proportion. Only the top 30 most abundant orders are shown. The remaining lineages are grouped as ‘others’. c Alpha diversity (Simpson index) and evenness (Shannon evenness index) were measured using MAGs from three biological replicates in each treatment. The box plot’s center features the median at the 50th percentile, with the Q1 (25th percentile) and Q3 (75th percentile) marking the lower and upper bound of the data. Whiskers extend from these quartiles to the minimum and maximum values as Q1 − 1.5 IQR and Q3 + 1.5 IQR, respectively. Significantly different groups are indicated by letters a, b, and c, determined by pairwise Tukey HSD tests, which are two-sided and adjust for multiple comparisons. d Distribution of genome sizes for MAGs at the early and late stages. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
