a
Abbreviations: Rps., Rhodopseudomonas; Rfx., Rhodoferax; Rmi., Rhodomicrobium; Rsp., Rhodospirillum.
b
The Shannon indices were calculated by using −Σpilnpi, where pi is the proportion of individual bacteria found in the ith genotype.
c
ND, not determined since only one genotype was isolated.
d
—, no isolates.
