a Global map of PBB samples. Made with Natural Earth. Free vector and raster map data @ naturalearthdata.com. b Abundance of PBB in agricultural (n = 1191) and non-agricultural (n = 728) lands (per sample). The error bars indicate ± standard error of mean (SEM). RPM stands for reads per million., Significance between two groups was evaluated by two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test (p = 1.2e-14). c Richness index of PBB in agricultural (n = 1191) and non-agricultural (n = 728) lands. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Significance between two groups was evaluated by two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test (p < 0.001). d Shannon index of PBB in agricultural (n = 1191) and non-agricultural (n = 728) lands. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Significance between two groups was evaluated by two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test (p < 0.001). e Abundance of PBB with different beneficial traits (PGP, biocontrol, and stress resistance) in agricultural (n = 1191) and non-agricultural (n = 728) lands. The error bars indicate ± SEM. Significance between two groups was evaluated by two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test (pPGP = 9.6e-3). “ns” denotes no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05).
