Alpha- and beta-diversity. a ACE, Chao1, Richness, Shannon, and Simpson values of the transplantation group (green) is lower than the original group (red). *p value < 0.05. b Bay-Curtis dissimilarity distance is illustrated by the nonmetric multi-dimensional scaling (nMDS) plot of the ASV matrix. These analyses were performed after applying the different read depths to 4000 based on read sequences of ASVs and square Root Transformation (Sqrt)
