a
Number of sequences after removal of chimeric sequences by Mallard.
b
Calculated with Mothur at the 3% distance level.
c
Calculated from the equation, Cx=1-(n/N), where ‘n’ is the number of OTUs composed of only one sequence (singleton) and N is the total number of sequences.
d
Numbers in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.
e
Mean ±95% confidence intervals.
