Table 4. SIMPER analysis identifying which bacterial Classes contribute most strongly towards differences in FDS and CTW community compositions. (UC) denotes an unclassified class within the Phyla identified. Average abundance data is log-transformed, average PhyloChip probe intensity data (standardised over samples). Average dissimilarity is the contribution of each taxa towards dissimilarity between the two treatment groups (FDS and CTW). Dissimilarity is the average contribution/standard deviation of the contribution over groups (i.e. consistency).
