P-values were calculated based on the Fisher exact test and are outlined in materials and methods. The threshold to determine significance (alpha value) at the phylum, class, and genus level should be adjusted by the Bonferroni correction, also detailed in materials and methods.

N.D. = not detected, N/A = not applicable.
