Figure 5: Average abundance of calcibacteria in Hemimycale columella.
From: Endosymbiotic calcifying bacteria across sponge species and oceans
(a) Direct hybridization of calcibacteria extracted from the sponge tissue and quantified using epifluorescence microscopy. Vertical bars represented ± 95% confidence intervals. (b) Integrated intensity of the hybridization signal in the two colour morphs. Vertical bars represent ± standard errors. (c) Integrated intensity of the hybridization signal in two lifecycle stages (NR, non-reproductive; R, reproductive). Vertical bars represent ± standard errors.
