Incubation experiments were conducted in St. John, US Virgin Islands to investigate the composition of exudates released from different species of benthic organisms, and the response of reef seawater microbial communities to mixed exudates released from different species and to specific metabolites. Exudates were collected from the stony coral Porites astreoides, and the octocoral Gorgonia ventalina after an 8 hour incubation. Reef seawater microbial communities were incubated separately in the ...

Other relevant files and publications:
The targeted and untargeted metabolomics data and metadata associated with this study are located on the MetaboLights database under accession numbers MTBLS2855 and MTBLS3286.
The 16S rRNA gene sequencing data and metadata associated with this study are located on the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under BioProject PRJNA739882. BioSample accession numbers are not linked with the data submitted to BCO-DMO because samples for flow cytometry and macronutrients were not always collected at the same time as samples collected for microbial community analyses, meaning that only some of the samples collected for microbial community analyses have affiliated microbial abundances and nutrient concentrations.
