Species accumulation curves for 16S rRNA gene sequences derived from clone libraries of DNA from biofilms in a stream with a neutral pH (BR), an acidic stream (DU), and a very acidic stream (OB), amplified using universal bacterial primers PB36 and PB38. A new species was considered to be present if the amplified DNA sequence shared <99% similarity with any other sequence analyzed for the same clone library.
