Characterization of the Fungal Microbiome (Mycobiome) in Fecal Samples from Dogs

Table 2

Relative percentages of the most abundant fungal groups on the various phylogenetic levels based on pyrosequencing. The letters in parenthesis indicate phylogenetic levels (p: phylum, c: class, o: order, f: family, g: genus).
