  1. Total (A) and active (B) rhizosphere communities were analysed through sequencing of 16S and ITS rDNA and rRNA, respectively. Rhythmic changes in relative abundance of individual OTUs were detected based on comparison of dawn and dusk samples. See also Additional File 1 for lists of rhythmic OTUs detected in this experiment. Different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05)
