Transmission of bacteria in the coral microbiome transplantation experiments. UpSetR analyses identified amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) representing bacteria that were potentially transmitted from the inoculum to the recipient corals during the CMT treatment in a Pocillopora sp. and b Porites sp. The transmitted bacterial community, consisting of donor-specific bacteria, is represented by the exclusive overlap between the “inoculum” and “I” recipient microbiomes (marked pink). Set sizes are indicated by horizontal bars and unique and intersection group sizes are indicated by vertical bars. The inoculum set had no unique ASVs. A boxplot depicts the ln-transformed read counts per set, as an indicator of abundance. Krona plots for c Pocillopora sp. and d Porites sp. highlight the transmitted bacterial community within the total microbiomes of “I” recipients, showing relative abundances and phylogenetic classification at order, family, and species levels (SILVA database bootstrap > 80)
