Fig. 4. ML phylogenetic tree illustrating the placement of the 16S rRNA gene sequences from two bacterial MAGs (W5_Kt and HY_Ok) derived from S. pistillata CAMAs among the family Endozoicomonadaceae.

The dataset included 1289 bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences reference sequences (>1400 bp) from the SILVA database. The tree is rooted to the genus Zooshikella. Bootstrap values greater than 50% are shown at the nodes (based on 1000 replications). Dot plot and heatmaps showing the relative abundance of sequences based on the following categories: (1) derived from scleractinian corals, (2) derived from marine hosts or seawater environments, and (3) derived from ocean geographic locations. In the category of host/sea environment, others are included green algae, marine annelid, marine nemertean, starfish, and zoanthid. ND, no data.
