Alpha diversity indices of microbial communities according to mineral substrate and stain presence, based on estimated richness (Chao 1 index), diversity (Shannon H′ index), and evenness (Simpson index). For each index × community combination, significant differences according to mineral substrate and stain presence and post-hoc grouping are shown with letters (Wilcoxon tests, P < 0.05). The same findings were obtained when using the observed number of taxa instead of Chao 1 index (not shown)
