  1. We assigned the following biomarkers to specific microbial groups: bacteria (sum of were i15:0, a15:0, 15:0, i16:0, 16:1ω7c, i17:0, a17:0, 17:0, cy17:0, 18:1ω7 and cy19:0), fungi (sum of 18:2ω6c and 18:3ω6c) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (16:1ω5c)
  2. T-PLFA total phospholipid fatty acid, Gram(+) gram positive bacteria, Gram(−) gram negative bacteria, F/B fungi to bacterial ratio, T-PLFA sum of fatty and methyl esters and 26FAMEs were detected, LSD least significant difference test (p < 0.05)
  3. *, ** and *** denotes significance at 5, 1 and 0.1% level, respectively
