Jellyfish bacteria composition analysis. (A) Mean relative abundance analysis for tissues across bloom months. Type of tissue is specified above each graph. ASVs belonging to the same genus are color coded with similar colors and grouped together, otherwise taxa are ordered by mean relative abundance. Each ASV is classified to the highest level of phylogenetic identification achieved. The data for all individual samples are shown in Fig. S5. (C) Taxa with significant differences between tissues (B) or months (C). Each dot represents a single sample; black dots indicate the mean ± standard deviation. Colors are the same as those used in Fig. 2. Letters represent significant groups found in with p < 0.05 as determined by pairwise comparisons -Wilcoxon tests following a Kruskal-Wallis test.
