Acropora microbiome from NB3
Coral tissue and mucus were aseptically removed from Acropora and Favites colonies and used for total community DNA extraction with the DNeasy PowerWater Kit (Qiagen). Sequencing libraries were prepared using the Illumina DNA prep Library Kit and quality-checked on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Paired-end (2  100 bp) sequencing was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform.
