a

Calculated using the formula: (No. of reads assigned to bacteria/archaea)/{No. of long reads (≥300 bp)} × 100.

b

Calculated using the formula: (No. of reads assigned to any phyla)/(No. of reads assigned to bacteria/archaea) × 100.

c

Calculated using the formula: (No. of reads assigned to any genera)/(No. of reads assigned to any phyla) × 100.
