From: Coral microbiome composition along the northern Red Sea suggests high plasticity of bacterial and specificity of endosymbiotic dinoflagellate communities

Fig. 3

Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix of bacterial communities associated with six coral species and five sites along the latitudinal gradient in the northern Red Sea. PCoA shows clustering pattern between coral species versus seawater (a) and between different sites (b). Two most abundant OTUs (Alteromonas sp. and Pseudoalteromonas sp.) mask geographic patterns and were therefore excluded for this visualization. Compositional differences in bacterial communities were best explained by site
