Figure 5. Bacterial community structures based on the classification of partial 16S RNA genes obtained from Porites black band disease lesions and healthy colonies of Porites lutea using MEGAN.

(A) Relative abundance (%) of bacterial classes and (B) number of bacterial genera assigned to the diverse classes associated with PorBBD-infected tissues (DT1 and DT2), healthy tissues (HT1 and HT2) and control tissue (CT). a and b distinguish the duplicate samples.
