Community structure considering the twenty most abundant bacterial genera (family rank also included) in the three repeats (1–3) of the inflow, CWSslow, as well as the initial 60 s and the remaining 660 s of CWSfast and IWSfast groups. Sample size (n) was 11, 9, 14, 6, 6, 4, 7, 6, 6, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8 on each column from left to right (i.e., there were 34 inflow samples and 100 samples from outflow group, respectively, including 16 samples for CWSslow, 41 samples from CWSfast, and 43 samples from IWSfast).
