Table 4 Genus-level community composition by sample type. Relative abundance was calculated for aggregated counts across all samples of each sample type and is summarised at genus level (i.e. aggregates all OTUs with the same genus assignment). Samples below a total read count of 1499 are not included. Genera with an average relative abundance below 1% are grouped as “Other”
