Richness and diversity indexes relative to CT group and JG group.

ID	Number of OTUs	Shannon	Simpson	ACE	Chao	Coverage
CT	458.4 ± 19.4	4.97 ± 0.1	0.02 ± 0.002	470.81 ± 22.04	477.06 ± 22.89	0.998 ± 0.0005
JG	456.2 ± 19.1	4.92 ± 0.15	0.02 ± 0.004	474.95 ± 14.60	479.92 ± 14.67	0.998 ± 0.0007
P-value	1	0.68	0.68	0.95	0.95	1

Data represents as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Statistical analyses were performed with Wilcoxon rank sum test between the two groups. The number of OTUs, richness estimator Chao and ACE, and diversity estimator Shannon and Simpson were calculated at 3% distance.
