primer pairs design^a</b>
^a16S
rRNA sequences of above species or strains covering <i>Bacteroides</i>, <i>Lactobacillus</i>, <i>Pediococcus</i>,<i> Enterococcus</i>,
<i>Streptococcus</i>, <i>Bifidobacterium, Prevotella</i>,
<i>Clostridium</i>,
<i>Eubacterium, Ruminococcus,</i><i> Leuconostoc</i>, <i>E. coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> were retrieved from the NCBI GenBank database, and
aligned to determine the regions designed for primers. The bacteria in the
same box were closely
related.

mentioned in Table S1.</b>
<b> </b>
16S rRNA gene sequence of 13 different bacterial
genera used in Table S1 were aligned with each other, respectively. The
similarity levels were detected by DNAMAN8.0.
