otu97 table pre-filtration blank_included

A: OTU table showing the 3334 OTUs identified in the MiSeq analysis of 107 samples analyzed by clustering 97% identical sequences in mothur before filtering. B: The same table rarefied at 8900 reads. C: OTU table showing the 65 OTUs identified in the three ‘blank’/water samples included in our MiSeq sequencing. To identify common OTUs between ‘blank’ and ant samples we used local blast analyses. For the OTUs that were present in both ant and ‘blank’ samples, we also show, at the bottom, the corresponding OTU numbers (IDs) in the ant sample table.
