Statistical Methods
T-tests were performed using GraphPad Prism’s in-software analysis tools
(https://www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/latest/statistics/stat_key_concepts_ttests.htm).
Relative abundance, alpha diversity, and beta diversity metrics were
calculated in QIIME263 and the results (such as PCoA)
were visualized using QIIME2 view (https://view.qiime2.org/).
