From: Distinct coral environments shape the dynamic of planktonic Vibrio spp.
The abundance and diversity of Vibrio spp. a Total Vibrio abundance (lg copies/ml) across all samples and their differences among different groups. DY Daya Bay, XS Xisha Islands, PA particle-associated group, FL free-living group. *P < 0.05. b α-Diversity indices of Vibrio community. Student’s t-test showed significant difference between DY and XS. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. c Nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordination of vibrios based on the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity. d Spearman correlations between Vibrio spp. abundance, α-diversity indices and the physicochemical parameters. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
