Table 2. SIMPER analysis showing the % contribution of specific bacterial genera to the total dissimilarity among bacterial communities that developed on glass, PDMS, and PDMS filled with 1 wt% AgNPs.

Genus	Comparison with PDMS filled with 1 wt% AgNPs
	Glass	PDMS
Vibrio	3.24	4.47
Tenacibaculum	1.22	4.59
Shewanella		1.24
Others	95.54	89.70

Note: The contributions are averaged over all significant pair-wise treatment comparisons.
