Top-40 bacterial ASVs that had the highest relative abundances in all treatments (initial soil, control soil, control SN, and PBSA and soils in PS, and PSN treatments). The enrichment or the decline of bacterial ASVs in PBSA and soil samples from the PS and PSN treatment were compared with those in the control soil and control soil with (NH4)2SO4 addition. The last two columns indicate bacterial ASVs that have been reported to produce lipase enzyme and to degrade PBS and its derivatives in previous studies. The letters in the square parentheses indicate the functions of each ASV: A: animal and human pathogen, B: biological control, D: denitrifying bacteria, G: plant growth promotion, N: N fixing, NA: not applicable, O: opportunistic human pathogen, P: plant pathogen, and S: sulphur cycling. The number in the square parentheses indicates the ranking of each ASV among the top-40 ASVs. Details of the treatment abbreviations can be found in the legend of Fig. 1
