  1. The data were based on 16S rDNA datasets
  2. All data are presented as means ± standard deviations; values with different letters in a row mean significant difference at p < 0.05; bold italic fonts stand for phylum, while non-bold fonts stand for genus and 1 OTU
  3. DCP daily CH4 production
  4. ** Significant at p < 0.01; * Significant at p < 0.05
