Comparative analysis (UPGMA similarity tree) of microbial diversity in the Ciocaia samples with existing microbial mat/microbialite studies. A closed-reference OTU picking was performed via QIIME (Caporaso et al., 2010a) at 97% sequence similarity, and the UPGMA tree constructed with unweighted-UniFrac (Lozupone and Knight, 2005). Sample codes: PI and PII, Pozas Azules I and II; BP, Pirate Channel; BR, Los Rapidos; RM, Rio Mesquites; SE, lagoon microbialite; BM, soft microbialite; ST, microbial mat; AC, columnar microbialite Alchichica lake; AS, spongy microbialite Alchichica lake (accession no. SRR350006; Centeno et al., 2012); LL_win bl, Salar de Llamara winter sample, bottom layer; LL_win tl, Salar de Llamara winter sample, top layer; LL_sum bl, Salar de Llamara summer sample, bottom layer; LL_sum tl, Salar de Llamara summer sample, top layer (accession no. SRR961678, SRR952918, SRR952917, SRR952915, SRR952913; Rasuk et al., 2014); T_d, Tebenquiche dome; B_mb, Brava microbialite; B_m, Brava mat; T_m, Tebenquiche mat (accession no. SRR627689, SRR627690, SRR627691, SRR627395; Farias et al., 2014); S, Socompa stromatolite (accession no. SRR329490; Farias et al., 2013).
