a
With the exception of number of sequences per library, all values are presented as averages with standard deviations in parentheses (n = 3) based on a randomly subsampled library of 6547 sequences. No. – number.
b
H′ – non-parametric Shannon diversity index; Inv. Simpson – inverse of the Simpson diversity index.
