Intragenus diversity analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence identity; mean identity of all versus all 16S rRNA gene sequences (for each genus); mean distance (Kimura 2 parameter); number of pairwise comparisons of 16S sequences with identity >97%, considered as threshold of species identity (in brackets the total number of comparisons and the percentage); number of OTU with at least 1 pairwise comparison with identity >97%.
