Flowchart of metagenome data analysis. The assembled contigs were evaluated against global sequence databases (NCBI nt and nr, MG-RAST M5NR) and rDNA databases (Silva, Greengenes, RDP, NCBI 16SMicrobial). Taxonomic binning was performed using either Unique Best Hit (UBH) or Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) algorithm.
