Table 1 Number of OTUs and the best distance levels of clustering algorithms (Case study 1)
From: M-pick, a modularity-based method for OTU picking of 16S rRNA sequences
| CROP | ESPRIT-Tree | M-pick | |
|---|---|---|---|
| # OTU (mean, std) | 55.5 (19.5) | 45.3 (10.8) | 56.6 (3.1) |
| Best distance level | 2%-3% | 4%-5% | N/A |
