Taxonomic assignment of the most abundant bacterial OTUs (at 97% cut-off) from the microbial mats at the end of the experiment using the Ribosomal Database Project tool for classification.

<p>OTU designations are followed (in parenthesis) by the number of sequences represented by that OTU in each environment. These designations are presented in the following order: Pools, Control, UVmin, UVplus, 40C, and Fluct. The S_ab score represents the percentage of shared 7-mers between two sequences, which does not require alignment in the calculation. Abbreviations: M is the mesocosm experiment; Y is Yellowstone (USA). <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0119741#pone.0119741.s006" target="_blank">S1 Table</a> provides the list of all OTUs.</p><p>Taxonomic assignment of the most abundant bacterial OTUs (at 97% cut-off) from the microbial mats at the end of the experiment using the Ribosomal Database Project tool for classification.
