PERMANOVAs based on Bray–Curtis (BC) similarity measure for square-root transformed relative abundances or Jaccard similarity measure (composition) of bacterial TRF profiles associated with Phyllospora in the first experiment from the point of view of (A) the origin of the algae or (B) the destination.^∗

^∗(A) Treatment was fixed with four levels (U, Undisturbed; D, Disturbed; TL, Translocated; TP, Transplanted), Place of origin was random with two levels (CR, Cronulla; PB, Palm Beach). (B) Treatment was fixed with three levels (U, D, TL), Place of destination was random with two levels (Cr, PB). The replicates were the Phyllospora individuals (n = 2–5). P-values were calculated using 9,999 permutations under a reduced model. Bold indicates statistical significance (at alpha = 0.005).
