(A) The aerobic basin physicochemical parameter evolution through the 236 days. Blue scale color for P-PO4 and total phosphorus concentration only. Colored lines delimit the three periods of physicochemical parameter evolution: Pink represents the first period, blue, the intermediate period, and green represents the third period. (B) PCoA analysis of the 16S rDNA tags of the time series samples. The X and Y-axis explained 51.4% of the correlation between samples. PCoA separated the time series samples into three distinct groups constituting 3 phases. Phase 1, blue boxes (day 13–day 40); phase 2, blue and red boxes (days 82 and 68); and phase 3, red boxes (day 133–day 236). (C) PCoA analysis of the 18S rDNA tags of the SM_WWTP time series samples. The X and Y-axis explained 35.33% of the correlation between samples. (D,E) Hierarchically clustered heat map fingerprinting of the top 100 microbial OTUs respectively for bacteria (D), and eukaryotes (E), of the 23 time-series SM_WWTP samples. (F,G) Evolution of ecological diversity indices within the 23 time-series SM_WWTP. Scale colors: Red for Eukarya and blue for Bacteria. (F) Evolution of Shannon diversity indices within the SM_WWTP. (G) Evolution of Inverse Simpson diversity indices within the time series SM_WWTP. Scale colors: Red for Eukarya and blue for Bacteria.
