Table 2.

Bray–Curtis Dissimilarity Index from the High-Throughput Sequencing Data of the Bacterial and Archaeal 16S rRNA Genes, and the Eukaryotic 18S rRNA Gene from the Three Microbial Mats

  Mat-1–Mat-2 Mat-1–Mat-3 Mat-2–Mat-3
Bacteria  0.84 0.94 0.90
Archaea  0.37 1.00 1.00
Eukarya  0.58 0.90 0.93

The index ranges from 0 to 1, being 0 when a pair of samples shares the same OTU composition, and 1 when a pair of samples does not share any OTU.
