^aRichness estimates and diversity indices were calculated for the datasets normalized to the same number of sequences per library: 1,781 (Burkholderia), 1,051 (Bacteria).

^bAbbreviations specify the sampling sites and habitats: A, Austria; R, Russia; F, S. fallax; M, S. magellanicum; W, flark water; G, gametophyte; S, sporophyte. Arabic numerals specify different bogs in Austria and Russia.

^c16S rDNA pyrosequencing libraries specific for Burkholderia were obtained from gametophyte samples of Sphagnum mosses.
