Table 2 Overview of the average network statistics Degree, Betweenness, Closeness, and Eigenvector centrality, determined separately for the bacterial and archaeal community and the DNA and RNA profiles. Significant (P < 0.05) differences, as determined by a t test, between bacteria and archaea or between DNA and RNA are indicated by different letters (a–d)

From: The active microbial community more accurately reflects the anaerobic digestion process: 16S rRNA (gene) sequencing as a predictive tool
