Multivariate analysis of the prokaryotic community profiles. Ordinations are shown at the taxonomic (phylotype, OTU) (a and b) and functional (Pfam and COG) (c and d) levels. In a, sediment samples were included in the ordination analysis while b shows the same ordination without sediment data. Principal coordinates analyses (PCoA) were performed using the Bray-Curtis similarity matrix calculated from Hellinger-transformed abundance data. All ordinations are shown in Eigenvalue scale. Healthy octocoral samples are represented by colored circles (salmon — healthy Eunicella gazella (EG15_H - EG18H); orange — healthy Eunicella verrucosa (EV01 - EV04); olive — healthy Leptogorgia sarmentosa (LS06 - LS08)), necrotic E. gazella (EG15_N - EG18_N) by red triangles, sediment (SD01 - SD03) by black diamonds, and seawater (SW01 - SW04) by blue asterisks. Discrete grouping of the sample categories was statistically supported by one-way PERMANOVA tests with each 999 permutations
