Seawater 27C
Three treatment tanks - water temperature in the treatment tanks was raised 1°C per day from 26°C to 31°C. One control tank - water temperature 26°C. 16 replicate coral mucus (treatment, n= 12; control, n=4 ) samples. 16 seawater samples were collected during the experiment. Eight seawater samples – four pooled samples from the treatment tanks, four samples from the control tanks – were sent for pyrosequencing. 16 mucus samples were also collected for HPLC.
