A Ordination plot for microbial communities growing on sorghum and analyzed using amplicon sequencing. B Dry mass. C NIMS results. Both correspond to end-point analyses after a 14-day incubation. D–E DNS analysis for CMCase and xylanase activity of adapted communities inoculated with SM and WT sorghum. F Lignin content from small-scale biomass analysis. The icons within the barplots indicate the Tier1 community used for inoculation of the Tier 2 experiment. Circle – comm1, triangle – comm2, and square – comm3. Error bars indicate standard deviation (n = 3). Bars labeled with the same letter are not significantly different (ANOVA and Tukey test; p > 0.05)
