Microbial communities in soil after transplantation of microbiota from different types of soil. A Schematic of microbiota transplantation experiments. B Alpha diversity in fungal and bacterial communities based on operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Data are mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. SC-MT group, based on two-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple-comparisons test. C-D Analysis of principal components (PCs) of Bray–Curtis distances in fungal communities based on operational taxonomic units (OTUs) as an index of beta diversity. The box-and-whiskers histogram on the right represents the distribution of the sample on PC 1. ***p < 0.001 vs. SC-MT and ###p < 0.001 vs. SL-MT, based on one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple-comparisons test. E Relative abundances of fungal phyla. F-G Analysis of principal components (PCs) of Bray–Curtis distances in bacterial communities based on operational taxonomic units (OTUs) as an index of beta diversity. The box-and-whiskers histogram on the right represents the distribution of the sample on PC 1. **p < 0.01 vs. SC-MT and ###p < 0.001 vs. SL-MT, based on one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple-comparisons test. H Relative abundances of bacterial phyla. I-J Fungal taxa differing significantly between the soil types based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) score log10 > 2.0 and p < 0.05. LEfSe, linear discriminant analysis effect size. K-L Bacterial taxa differing significantly between the soil types based on the same criteria as in panels I-J
