OTU of Symbiodiniaceae eDNA: Lombok reef waters
Raw sequence data were processed in the Qiime2 pipeline to yield high-quality OTU sequences. The OTUs were classified using a Eukaryotic classifier and then were filtered to obtained putative Symbiodiniaceae OTUs. After these OTUs being assessed using the NCBI BLAST routine, the results were used as reference sequences. After aligning these references with the other relevant additional reference sequences,  a phylogenetic tree of the Symbiodiniaceae was constructed using the maximum likelihood (ML) approach in the IQ-TREE v.1.6.12.
