Table S1 - Distance-Decay and Taxa-Area Relationships for Bacteria, Archaea and Methanogenic Archaea in a Tropical Lake Sediment

Tentative genetic affiliation of the OTUs. For the three studied genes there are in the literature some genetic affiliation with different phylogenetic groups, we show some of these in this table. * The affiliation with the phylogenetic groups was based on literature data that used the same primers and restriction enzymes for TRFLP. All the affiliations are only tentative, and can only be interpreted as the probable main groups of the lake sediment community. (DOCX)
