A mothur "list" file is tab-separated text representing an OTU table. Each (very long!) line has information for a set of OTUs clustered at a given identity. The tab-separated fields are:

  1. Clustering identity given as fractional difference, e.g. 0.03 is 97%.
  2. Number of OTUs.
  3, 4, 5... Labels for each OTU. Labels for a given OTU are separated by commas.
