Fig. 6: Core genera are specific in intracellular communities, less so in closely and loosely associated communities.

A Relative abundance of genera found in every Symbiodiniaceae strains in either intracellular, closely associated, or loosely associated samples—‘core genera’. For each value, three independent replicates were merged. Asterisk in front of an underlined genus signifies that the genus was also detected through an indicator genera analysis. B Relative abundance of the sum of all core genera from intracellular (left panel; seven genera), closely associated (middle panel; seven genera), or loosely associated (right panel; five genera) communities.
