a

Only OTUs that accounted for more than 0.5% of reads across libraries from gradient fractions are shown. OTUs are shown in rank order, with the first being the most abundant.

b

Percentages were calculated from 16S rRNA gene OTU frequencies in Illumina libraries with respect to densities of fractions. Percentages in boldface are at or above the 30% and 15% thresholds used as indicators that uptake of 15N- and 13C-labeled substrates occurred, respectively.
