Alpha and beta diversity of maize rhizosphere archaea, bacteria and fungi. Richness and Shannon diversity index for (a) archaea, (b) bacteria, and (c) fungi; and PCoA plot based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities for (d) archaea, (e) bacteria, and (f) fungi for maize rhizosphere soil communities with (grey) or without (white) exposure to 100 mg kg−1 silver nanoparticles (20 nm) in soil, based on the metatranscriptome. Statistically significant differences for the alpha diversity measures are indicated on top of the graph: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
