Table 2.
The top 10 most abundant amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) in the dataset are reported to the lowest taxonomic resoluBon known. The abundance of Polynucleobacter asymbioBcus (ASV_4) was associated with subalpine lakes (p < 0.05) and Candidatus Planktophila sulfonica (ASV_8) was associated with alpine lakes (p < 0.05).
