  1. Values are expressed as percentages of the total number of isolates or reads, respectively. M: metabarcoding; S: serial dilution. A: Bolla and Carassina; B: Bresciana; C: Campo la Torba; D: Formazzora; E: Pontino. Database used for the metabarcoding identification: UNITE. 1Debaryomyces coudertii and D. prosopidis have been identified by ITS, but ITS cannot distinguish them from D. hansenii (Martorell et al. 2005; Nguyen et al. 2009). D. hansenii has been identified by sequencing and MALDI-TOF MS
