Bacterial load quantified using ddPCR showing, A bacteria coral.cell−1 B Endozoicomonas coral.cell−1 and C relative abundance of Endozoicomonas (ratio of Endozoicomonas to total bacterial 16S rRNA gene copies) for untreated (gold) or PMA-treated (purple) samples, where 0.1 = 10%. Boxes cover the interquartile range (IQR) and the diamond inside the box denotes the median. Whiskers represent the lowest and highest values within 1.5 × IQR. * indicates a significant difference between treatments
