PERMANOVA main test for bacterial community β-diversity.
| Source of variation | Pseudo-F | P (perm) | PERMDISP (P) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nutrients | 1.5954 | 0.043 | 0.99 |
| Seaweeds | 1.4574 | 0.038 | 0.12 |
| Nu × Se | 0.85528 | 0.808 | 0.06 |
PERMANOVA values were calculated after square-root transformation and Bray-Curtis distances calculation for OTU composition. H0: there are no differences in the distribution of OTUs for the different treatments, H0 rejected if: p < 0.05. Factors abbreviations: Nu, Nutrients; Se, Seaweeds, Bold face values are significant at P < 0.05, P-values based on 999 permutations.
