A Ordination (Principal Coordinates analysis of Aitchison distance) depicting variation in microbiome composition across inoculation treatments in a common garden experiment. Colors indicate microbial treatment using final microbes from Box 1 (red) or Box 2 (blue), or initial microbes (gray); filled circles indicate sample type worms, open circles indicate sample type substrate (compost with associated worms). Each symbol represents one replicate. n = 4 B Differential abundance analysis of substrate microbiomes inoculated with final Box 1 microbiome or final Box 2 microbiome. Each point represents an ASV and ASVs are grouped by genera with family listed in parentheses. Genera with at least two differentially abundant ASVs are included here (see Supplementary Figs. S3 and S4 for complete results). Colors indicate ASVs with significantly greater relative abundance in either substrate inoculated with the final Box 1 microbiome (red) or substrates inoculated with the final Box 2 microbiome (blue).
