Notes.

Source refers to the inoculum source, while cutoff refers to the percentage divergence cutoff used to assign sequences into operational taxonomic units (OTUs). For each inoculum source, the numbers are shown for OTUs at the putative species level (0.03) and the putative order level (0.1).

ND: Not determined due to the small number of sequences obtained for this dataset
