Richness and diversity of the Red Sea microbiota during the 2016 and 2017 sampling events. a The Rarefaction curve showing the average number of observed OTUs per sequences with the standard errors of the means for all the data from the 2016 and 2017 sampling events. b PCoA based on the weighted UniFrac distance matrix for the 2016 (red circles) and 2017 (blue squares) sampling events. Samples were averaged based on date (four dates per year). Pre (approximately one month prior to sandstorms; SD1 (2–3 days after sandstorms); SD2 (six days following sandstorms); Post (approximately one month after sandstorms). The Dust sample is from the 2017 (March 20th) sandstorm event
