a. Identified by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene as a gold standard.
b. NI: Not identified despite being present in the commercial Database.
c. NI: Not Identified due to faults in the generation of the spectrum (no peaks). COMPLEX ID: correct identification at the group / complex level; GENUS ID: correct identification at genus level; SPECIES ID: correct identification at species level; NI: no identification.
