  1. Note: KEGG pathways were inferred from the 16S rRNA gene sequence using PICRUSt. Significantly enriched functional categories in different treatment groups were accessed using LEfSE (LDA > 2; P value < 0.05). Group 4, strain t16 bacterial solution; group 7, strain t21 bacterial solution; group 9, strain t16 + t21 bacterial solution
