Relative abundances (mean and SD) of the top 5 differentially abundant operational taxonomic units identified by SIMPER analysis.

<p>Differentially abundant OTUs between <b>a)</b> planktonic samples and <b>b)</b> sediment samples between Devils Hole and Ash Meadows Fish Conservation Facility (AMFCF), along with OTU ID and taxonomy, are shown. Prefixes (p_, o_, f_ and g_) denote phylum, order, family, and genus level OTU identities.
