Microbial communities associated with epilithic algal matrix with different morphological characters in Luhuitou fringing reef

The microbiota is an important component of the epilithic algal matrix (EAM) and plays a central role in the biogeochemical cycling of important nutrients in coral reef ecosystems. Insufficient studies on EAM microbiota diversity have led to a limited understanding of the ecological functions of EAM...
