(a) Number of different OCTUs for the main phyla recovered from the Prestwick and Littlehampton meiofaunal samples and their different levels of identity to nSSU in the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ nucleotide database. (b) Putative taxonomic classification of 39 OCTUs that had less than 90% sequence identity to nSSU in GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ.
