Differential colonization of B. striata leaves by microbiota transplanted from sandy clay soil (SC). A 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. B Analysis of principal components (PCs) of Bray–Curtis distances in fungal communities based on 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. C Relative abundances of fungal phyla. D 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. E Relative abundances of bacterial phyla. F Bacterial taxa differing significantly between the soil types based on the same criteria as in panel D
