  1. aThe number of sequence-reads depended on the assembly parameters; the parameters used here were: minimum overlap 150 bp; minimum overlap identity 95 %; maximum 10 % gaps per read; and maximum gap size 10 bp
  2. bBoth trnL 1 (tag) (94.5 %) and trnL 2 (taa) (5.5 %) were found before rrnS; cboth trnL 1 (2.7 %) and trnL 2 (97.3 %) were found before rrnL (Additional file 5)
