Rhodolith microbiome was stable under elevated pCO2. a Relative abundance of the 15 most abundant bacterial classes in dead (calcareous skeleton biofilm) and live rhodolith metagenomes, under ambient air and high CO2 treatments. b MDS plot for the relative abundance of rhodolith bacterial taxonomic similarities by class contribution (Bray Curtis similarity). Algae condition was the grouping variable, represented by green triangle for live rhodolith (T1A, T1B - live rhod_amb air; T3A, T3B - live rhod_high CO2) with no effect from time (1 day versus 40 days) or pCO2 level (ambient air versus high CO2) variables; and blue triangle for dead rhodolith (T2A - dead rhod_ high CO2; T4A - dead rhod_amb air), at the beginning (day 1) and ending (day 40) of the experiment
