Alpha diversity of healthy and disease site-derived biofilms. a Rarefaction curves of phylogenetic distance (top) and observed species (bottom) of all ten generations combined for healthy and disease site-derived biofilms. b Phylogenetic distance (top) and observed species (bottom) are significantly different between healthy and disease site-derived biofilms at 20,000 reads. c Rarefaction curves of phylogenetic distance (top) and observed species (bottom) of healthy (left) and disease (right) site-derived biofilms at each generation. Box plots show 5–95 percentile. All error bars indicate ± SD
