Core microbiome and predicted functional profiles in the L. hemprichii gastrovascular cavity. (a) Cumulative abundance in different sample types of the 11 core ASVs shared by GBR and aquarium L. hemprichii. Sample types: gastrovascular cavity (GVC) and diffusive boundary layer (DBL) samples collected from L. hemprichii (GBR L. hem) and other GBR corals, GVC samples from aquarium L. hemprichii (UTS L. hem), and GBR seawater samples (GBR SW). (b) Cumulative abundance of taxa predicted to contain the genes coding for high affinity terminal oxidases (cbb3 and bd type), low affinity terminal oxidases (aa3 and bo3 types), ratio between the two (y axis on log scale), and CRP/FNR family transcriptional regulator (fnr). Spheres represent individual data points. In (b), stars represent adjusted P < 0.05 in post-hoc Dunn’s test following Kruskal-Wallis test
