  1. ANCOVA univariate test (P < 0.05).
  2. Bacterial relative abundance percentages were determined by comparing the numbers of ASVs classified at the phyla level to all other detected microbiota in each community. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between abundance values detected from all populations to p < 0.05.
