Alpha diversity was conducted using Qiime python scripts. The purpose of alpha diversity is to determine the lowest number of tags necessary to achieve a plateau of rarefaction curves; therefore, all the tags were used. In the case of beta diversity, in which comparisons were made between samples, the tags of each sample were randomly downsized to the same number, even though we used relative abundances. Analyses were conducted using R statistical software (R Version 3.1.3).
