The bacterial microbiome in the two Caribbean gorgonian species Pseudoplexaura crucis and Eunicea tourneforti sampled from a back reef and after 7 days of experimental exposure to ambient or elevated (+3°C) temperature without (–) or with (+) ultraviolet radiation, in the summer and winter. (A) Bacterial beta diversity, shown as non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination (stress = 0.13) based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity between samples. Ellipses depict the 95% confidence intervals. (B) Branches are clustered based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, and displayed as a hierarchical clustering dendrogram. (C) Relative bacterial phyla and class abundance (%) within the gorgonian coral species. Each column includes from 3,619 to 28,111 sequence reads and represents data from 3 to 4 gorgonian coral colonies.
