Overall profile of microbial diversity of the sewage samples from Chinese WWTPs. Diversity of the microbiome was evaluated by using OTUs with 97% similarity cutoffs. a Rarefied Chao 1 index at a sequencing depth of 22,149 showing significant difference of α-diversity between summer and winter samples (mean ± SD; ANOVA; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01). b NMDS analysis showing the overall pattern of microbial communities (Adonis test, P < 0.01). c β-diversity of microbial communities computed with weighted UniFrac indices within/between the summer and winter samples (mean ± SD; ANOVA; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.). d Spearman’s rank correlations between the Bray-Curtis similarity of microbial communities and geographical distance (n is the number of comparison)
