Relative abundance of fungal and bacterial communities in soil samples from bat hibernacula with or without Tp treatment. The soil samples from Aeolus Cave (AC) and Barton Hill Mine (BHM) were treated with Tp at the concentration of 105 conidia/g soil (A1 & A2) or 106 conidia/g soil (B1 & B2). Untreated soil samples (soil alone) were included for comparison. gDNA was extracted followed by PCR and high throughput sequencing. a The relative abundance of fungal phyla is shown. Ascomycota dominated, followed by Basidiomycota and early diverging fungal lineages (Chytridiomycota, Entomophthoromycota, Mortierellomycota, Mucormycota, and Rozellomycota) from both AC and BHM. b The relative distribution of 25 most abundant fungal genera is shown. The increases in Trichoderma as represented by “T” in both AC and BHM were due to the exogenous addition of Tp. c The relative abundance of bacterial phyla is shown. Acidobacteria dominated AC soil and Protobacteria dominated BHM soil
