Denaturing gradient 60 % 30 % Y2 Q2 A1 G2 L1 U1 E1 K1 P2 (a) (b) Supplementary Fig A1 G2 K1 E1 Y2 U1 Q2 L1 P2 Supplementary Fig. 1. (a) DGGE patterns for the original (non-treated) and the treated soil samples. (b) Cluster analysis of DGGE band pattern for similarity index. The lane Y2 indicates for the original soil, whereas other lanes for the treated soil at 30 o C under different MC: control (Q2 for 20%, U1 for 30%), Brassica-treated (A1, E1) wheat bran-treated (G2, K1), and Avena-treated soils (L1, P2). Other notifications of DGGE were similar as described in Fig. 1 of the main text.
