A comparison of patescibacterial and total microbial diversity captured by both primer pairs. Alpha diversity indices (ASV richness, chao1 index, Shannon index, and inverse Simpson index) of the Patescibacteria (a–d) and the total microbial community (including Patescibacteria) (e–h) detected by the original primer and the modified primer pairs. Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to test for significant differences between two groups
