Comparison of the communities identified by SSU rRNA between enriched SSU rRNA- and total NA-derived RNA-seq datasets at different taxonomic levels.

<p>a, Phylum; b, Class; c, Order; d, Family; e, Genus; and f, Eukaryota. The percentages of SSU rRNA sequences for a particular taxon within the two datasets were plotted, and the eukaryotic percentages were plotted according to relative abundances of the fourth rank based on the SILVA database. The values in the legends are the slopes and coefficients of the regression equations, respectively. Explanations of Pa-Total and Pa-SSU are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0186161#pone.0186161.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.
