Table 2 Multiple stepwise regression model results for dominant bacterial and fungal phyla (and classes for Proteobacteria) that significantly correlated with a secondary metabolites. Soil origin was also included as an explanatory variable to discern metabolite versus soil effects. Raw abundances were centered log-ratio transformed prior to analysis. Type-1 error rates given are FDR-corrected

From: Rhizosphere microbiomes diverge among Populus trichocarpa plant-host genotypes and chemotypes, but it depends on soil origin
