Figure 5. Number of colonies with a given Symbiodinium type in the B224 and D206 treatments detected using qPCR primers specific.

qPCR primers were employed for secondary screening in the (A) B224 treatment and (B) D206 treatment. Sampling times- Pre BL; Post BL 3 wks and 5 wks as in Figure 2 (A–D); After 14 and 28 wks: colonies from the B224 treatment were returned to the field where lower sample sizes indicate loss of colonies from storms.
