Effect of metronidazole on microbial composition and diversity measured by 454-pyrosequencing. The microbiota profile in reactor effluents of CR and TR4 during the last 3 days of period E and F was analyzed by 454-pyrosequencing of the V5–V6 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. a Relative abundance at genus level. Values <1% are summarized in the group “others”. b Diversity measured by the Shannon diversity index. A higher Shannon diversity index reflects a more diverse community (in abundance and evenness).
