Additional file 1 of Shifting the microbiome of a coral holobiont and improving host physiology by inoculation with a potentially beneficial bacterial consortium

Additional file 1: Figure S1. Average protein concentrations (a), carbohydrate concentrations (b) and lipid concentrations (c) in the placebo (white bars) and BMC (gray bars) group on days 7, 14, and 21. All averages are standardized to grams of ash-free dry tissue weight (gdw), n=6. * and ** indicate significant differences at P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively. Bars represent the standard deviation of the mean. Figure S2. (a) Chlorophyll-a concentration of BMC (triangle) versus placebo (circle) and are standardized to the ash-free dry weight of the sample. (b) The maximum quantum yields of the PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) was determined at the day before the end of experiment. Number of coral fragments: Fv/Fm, n=4 and chlorophyll-a, n=6. Figure S3. Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of Pocillopora damicornis microbiome in the placebo (red) and BMC (blue) group on days 7 (b), 14 (c), 21 (d) and three time points (a), based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index, n = 6.
