A Alpha diversity metrics calculated based on Shannon’s diversity index, Faith’s phylogenetic diversity, and evenness based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Red refers to the mooring chain inner layer, blue refers to the mooring chain outer layer, and orange refers to the sediment. B Microbial community differences as visualized with PCoA using the unweighted UniFrac distance metrics. Axes 1 and 2 explain 37.05% and 19.63% of the variance, respectively. Red refers to the mooring chain inner layer, blue to the mooring chain outer layer and orange to the sediment. C The relative abundance of microbial species detected on the mooring chain inner and outer layers or in the sediment (depths 2‑4 cm, 4‑7 cm, and 7‑9 cm)
