Natural dynamics of coral mucus-associated prokaryotes: non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) plot of the Bray–Curtis-based dissimilarity matrix of prokaryotic communities colonizing the mucus of Porites astreoides and the adjacent reef environment (sediment and ambient water). Mucus samples are divided into ‘new mucus' (samples that were collected up to 2 weeks before and after an aging event) and into ‘aged mucus'. Arrow indicates shift in the centroid of the mucus community before aging, in aged mucus and after aged mucus was released. Each code depicted in the figure corresponds to an individual colony (1–6) throughout the experiment in a chronological order (a–d).
