Fig. 3: Microbial beta-diversity of all coral species (stony coral tissue loss disease [SCTLD]-susceptible corals and Acropora spp.) and sample types (coral, sediment, and seawater) show differences within and between microbial communities.

Fig. 3

A small subunit (SSU) 16S rRNA gene primers, B year, C biome, D study, E coral species, and F sample type. All plots were centered log-ratio transformed and visualized with a Euclidean distance. The NAs in (E) represent sediment and seawater samples; coral species codes are defined in Fig. 1 legend.
