Global surface microbiomes of diseased vs. healthy sea urchins show taxonomic differences. A All identified phyla for the sea urchin surface samples and the fSW sample (Additional File, Table S1) illustrate the relative abundance of each taxon in each sample. B Genera with an average relative abundance of > 0.1% across all samples (Additional File, Table S2) are illustrated by the relative abundance per sample. fSW is the average of fSW1 and fSW2. Taxa in A and B that could not be assigned at the level of phylum or genus are listed as the most specific known taxonomic level. BD2-3 is in the order Victivallales, the Pir4 lineage is in the family Pirellulaceae, vadinHA49 is in the phylum Planctomycetota, JGI-0000069-P22 is in the class Gracilibacteria, MSBL3 is in the family Kiritimatiellaceae, and HOC36 is in the class Gammaproteobacteria. ASV sequences that could not be assigned to a phylum are grouped as Bacteria. Sample name abbreviations are defined in Table 1
