*Estimated sequence coverage (read depth). ^†Genomes used for evaluation of binning performance on variable length fragments. ^‡The Leptospirillum group II 5-way genome was included in some ESOM binning and was indistinguishable from the Leptospirillum group II UBA genome, but is not shown in Figure 2. NA, not applicable.
