Distribution of bacterial sequences in Great Barrier Reef coral holobionts.

<p>(A) Rarefaction curves with 95% confidence interval for sequences obtained using bacterial tag encoded 454 amplicon pyrosequencing assays targeting small-subunit rRNA gene assays (Bac1). Dominance and Chao-1 are indicated above each graph. (B) Abundance of sequences belonging bacterial phyla. Proportion of sequences belonging to bacterial classes within phylum Proteobacteria (inset). Coral species <i>Acroporapalifera</i> 42a, <i>Montipora</i><i>digitata</i> 60a, <i>Porites</i><i>cylindrica</i> 66-2 from Heron Island and <i>Seriatopora</i><i>hystrix</i> 176-2 from the One Tree Island.
