a Liner discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis of bacterial taxon with significant difference in abundances in WT and nrh rhizosheath between acid and alkaline soil. Linear discriminant analysis score ≥3.8. b Relative abundances of Flavobacteriaceae and Paenibacillaceae in WT and nrh rhizosheath of acid and alkaline soils. Data are means ± SE (n = 3 independent replicates). Asterisks indicate significant differences by two-sided Student’s t test (**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). c Relative abundance of Flavobacteriaceae and Paenibacillaceae based on MAGs revealed by metagenomics. Circle size represents the relative abundance of each MAG (RPKM). Colors represent the normalized relative abundance. BS bulk soil, Ac acid soil, Al alkaline soil. d Transcriptional activity of Flavobacteriaceae and Paenibacillaceae based on metatranscriptomics. Circle size represents the transcriptional activity values (TPM). Colors represent the normalized relative transcriptional activity. BS bulk soil, Ac acid soil Al alkaline soil. The exact p values are provided in the Source Data file.
