Fig. 3: Functional profiles of metagenome-assembled genomes based on 95% average nucleotide identity (MAGs95%ANI) associated with sponge tissue, macroalgae biofilm and seawater.

Non-Metric Dimensional Scaling plot based on binary Bray Curtis Dissimilarities displaying variations in the functional profiles (KEGG Module presence/absence) between MAGs95%ANI. Colour represents phylum of MAGs95%ANI (class for Proteobacteria) and shape represent whether a phylum (class for Proteobacteria) was significantly enriched during a sampling time point (August vs. February) or stable between sampling time points (Stable). Hulls represent the multivariate t-distribution of groups (August, February, Stable).
