a
Representative 16S rRNA sequence(s) used in phylogenetic analyses, based upon 97% similarity grouping.
b
Clone name (GenBank accession number) based upon the results of a BLAST search (NCBI).
c
Based upon the results from a similarity matrix of unambiguously aligned nucleotides. A value of 1.00 indicates that sequences are identical.
d
The total numbers of clones analyzed for Z1a, Z2a, Z2b, Z3a, and Z3b were 48, 35, 72, 30, and 43, respectively. The numbers of different phylotypes were 21, 16, 35, 11, and 7, respectively.
