  1. PERMANOVA (Permutational multivariate analysis of variance using distance matrices) was performed based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix at the level of individual ARGs. The upper triangle (shaded gray) shows the F values of PERMANOVA, while the lower triangle shows the two-sided p values. Sample size: n = 6, 59, 14, 20, 106, and 21 biologically independent samples for Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America, and South America, respectively.
