Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe article is interesting but needs several corrections as follows:
- the material and methods section needs improvements, please add references to all methods or give details about the instruments used for physical measurements
- please describe better the results about the bacterial communities. Please review the order of Tables and also the citation of supplementary figures in manuscript. There is no Fig S5! but I suppose is about S4 in the text.
- please give explanation on figures from supplementary file.
- please add explanation of all abbreviations when used first.
- please review the last part of conclusion.
-please check carefully the English language.
