Figure 5. Dissolved oxygen drawdown by coral-associated bacteria when exposed to different algal exudate treatments.
Shown is the dissolved oxygen drawdown of microbial communities cultured from (A) Montastraea annularis (n = 30) and (B) Mussismilia hispida (n = 12) when exposed to turf algae exudate, crustose coralline algae exudate and seawater for 7 h. Mic and Con correspond to wells with and without bacteria in the agar, respectively. **** = p < 0.0001, *** = p < 0.001, ** = p < 0.01 at α = 0.05. Error bars represent ±SE.
