BBD samples were obtained from a BBD mat sample; BSML samples were obtained from the SML of an apparently healthy area of a BBD-infected colony; HSML samples were obtained from the SML of an apparently healthy colony.
The “x” in the isolate designation refers to an individual isolate from the source colony (e.g., BBD-FTL-1a, BBD-FTL-1b, etc.).
The “M” in the isolate designation refers to isolates that were selected from a marine agar plate.
The “S” in the isolate designation refers to isolates that were selected from a sea water tryptone agar plate.
Includes BBD-216-1b, BBD-216-2d, BBD-216-3d, BBD-216-4a, BBD-216-4e, BBD-217-2b, BBD-217-2d, BBD-217-2g, and BBD-217-3m. Sampling and identification information available from [42], [43].
Two BBD samples were collected from the single colony of C. natans on separate days. Sample 1 and Sample 2 were collected on 27-Sept-12 and 30-Sept-12, respectively.
