Figure 5. — Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) visualization of cultured microbial community composition across coral sampling methods. A. Ordination of the 32 species/media combination objects in multivariate space of coral species. Each object color indicates the coral surface sampling method. B. Bacterial family variable loadings on NMDS axes 1 and 2. The length of the vectors indicates the strength of the associated variable for describing the NMDS axes. The direction of the vectors indicates the direction of the associated variable gradients in ordination space. Only variable loadings (microbial families) contributing significantly (P < 0.01) to the ordination are included.
