Number of OTUs with significantly reduced abundances (FDR < 10%) due to sunlight and marine microbiotaa
| Time (h) | OTU reduced by sunlight, −biota (LF vs DF) | OTU reduced by sunlight, +biota (LU vs DU) | OTU reduced by biota, −sunlight (DU vs DF) | OTU reduced by biota, +sunlight (LU vs LF) |

—, no data were available for the comparisons between sunlit and dark microcosms at 0 h because the microcosms had not yet been exposed to the sunlight treatment. −biota, absence of biota; +biota, presence of biota; LF, light filtered; DF, dark filtered; LU, light unfiltered; DU, dark unfiltered.
