Taxonomic assignments of environmental microbial SAGs. The following approaches were used: PCR-based sequencing of SSU rRNA genes followed by classification with CREST (prokaryotes) or Silva Incremental Aligner (microalgae); LoCoS followed by CheckM, Metaxa, and CREST; and a combination of the two approaches. 317 SAGs from each environment, cell type, and gDNA amplification method were analyzed
