Temporal dynamics of bacterial diversity, bacterial species richness, and bacterial abundance in indoor air and outdoor air. Bacterial diversity (Faith’s phylogenetic diversity) is indicated by black circles (indoors: closed markers; outdoors: open markers). Species richness is indicated by grey triangles (indoors: closed markers; outdoors: open markers). Bacterial abundance in indoor air (red closed circles) and outdoor air (red open circles) was quantified by counting the 16S rRNA gene copies in a cubic meter of air. The t test statistics was used to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the bacterial diversity (p PD), species richness (p SR), and abundance (p A) in indoor air compared to outdoor air (a p value ≥0.05 confirms the null hypothesis)
