A nMDS ordination on square root transformed Bray Curtis distances calculated on absolute abundances of ASVs (stress = 0.192). B Mean Shannon’s diversity calculated on absolute ASV abundances ( ± SE) (n = 3, except SN treatment on Day 7 and Day 30 where n = 4). An nMDS combining points from samples at each time into one panel is found in Supplementary Fig. 4.
