Documented in phyloseq_sep_samp

#' @title Separate phyloseq-class object by sample.
#' @description This function splits a phyloseq object by sample, returning a list of objects whose components each correspond to a separate sample.
#' @param physeq A phyloseq-class object
#' @param drop_zeroes Logical, indicating weather OTUs with zero abundance or samples with zero total abundance should be removed
#' @return List with phyloseq objects.
#' @export
