Table 4. Most abundant SIMPER OTUs.
Average abundance and cumulative contribution of the top 15 dominant 97%-OTUs contributing at least to 70% of the Bray-Curtis dissimilarities (SIMPER). Calculated among shallow reef slopes and deep reef drop-off R. globostellata, Callyspongia sp. and seawater samples. Microbial taxonomy is based on the Greengenes 97%-OTU classification from phylum to species level (if applicable). Habitat-specific OTU prevalence emphasized in bold; cusum: ordered cumulative contribution.
