Results of leave-one-out allocation success from the canonical analysis of principal coordinates (CAP) carried out on the microbial metabolic patterns in algal thalli (AT), colonized (CS) and not-colonized (NCS) sediments.

A priori group	CS	NCS	AT	Total	% correct
CS	14	0	1	15	93
NCS	0	15	0	15	100
AT	0	0	15	15	100

The analysis was done using the first m = 7 principal coordinate axes (explaining altogether ca. 98% of the variation in the original dissimilarity matrix) based on the Bray-Curtis dissimilarities on untransformed data.
