BLAST results.

Statistics for each OTU from each replicate provided. For each OTU the number of reads per replicate is shown, as well as the GenBank accession number and further associated information of the closest hit in NCBI. Full taxonomic information is provided only for OTUs with sequence similarities >97% and e-values >e-50 to the respective closest hit, for sequence similarities between 85–97% and e-values between e-20 and e-50 only the respective higher taxonomic categories are provided and all others were assigned to “unknown Metazoa”.
