nMDS ordination of bacterial assemblages’ relative abundance in G. edwardsi (A) and I. palifera (B). Bacterial communities are similar regardless of the preservation and homogenization method used in G. edwardsi bacterial assemblages (A). I. palifera (B) bacterial assemblages treated with PFA-decalcified differ from the other methods. nMDS based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity of relative abundance data (fourth root transformed). Colonies indicated with numbers. For presence/absence equivalent results see Supplementary Figure 2 and Supplementary Tables 6, 8, 10, 12.
