Impact of ITS1 extraction methods on operational taxonomic unit (OTU) richness, sequence abundance, and OTU prevalence in our contemporary Australian Microbiome dataset. The ITSx95 method includes full and partial ITS1 sequences, whilst ITSxpress60 retains only full ITS1 sequences. We selected ITSxpress as the preferred approach due to reduced noise in the final dataset compared to ITSx. The x-axis displays relative values across the global dataset, with numbers in bars showing absolute measures.
