FIG 5 .

Presence of the eight highly persistent bacteria in coral core microbiome. (A) Venn diagrams of occurrence by region, depth by region, and all depths using 50% and 80% as percentages of occurrence to define coral core microbiome. Numbers inside the areas represent the number of OTUs that are part of the core microbiome, and numbers in the intersections represent the number of OTUs in common. (B) Average relative abundances of the eight highly persistent bacteria between regions and reefs and along depth gradients. See Table S7 in the supplemental material for complete taxonomic identification.
