α-Diversity in healthy and diseased coral microbiomes. Comparison of observed taxonomic richness (number of OTUs clustered at 97% similarity), and the Chao1 (with s.e.), ACE and Shannon diversity indices in ‘B': summer BBD consortia; ‘W': winter BBD consortia; ‘H': healthy surface microbiomes; and ‘S': seawater. The background seawater samples were most diverse, and diseased microbiomes tended to be more diverse comapred with healthy microbiomes.
