Paddy soil bacterial diversity and function after addition of Enterobacter bacteriophage-NJ to untreated field soil from the Nanjing agroecosystem. A Variation in alpha diversity of soil bacterial community based on the Chao and the Shannon indices. Values for the same index with different letters above bars differed significantly (p < 0.05) according to Kruskal–Wallis H test. B Principal coordinate analysis of soil bacterial community based on Bray–Curtis distance matrices. C Paddy soil bacterial function after addition of Enterobacter bacteriophage-NJ. The x- and y-axis represent the two selected principal coordinate axes; the percentage represents the explanatory value of the principal coordinate axes. N + NJ virus: virus isolated from NJ soil was added to untreated field soil; N + phage, Enterobatcter bacteriophage inoculation in natural soil; NCK: untreated field soil
