The microbiomes of the lesion surface and the lesioned body wall are highly similar. A All identified phyla are shown as the relative abundance in each sample (Additional File, Table S4). B Genera with an average relative abundance of > 0.1% across all groups (Additional File, Table S5) are illustrated by the relative abundance per sample. Abundance of taxa from replicated samples are averaged. Both types of seawater control samples are included for comparisons, which are the microbes collected from 500 ml of filtered seawater (fSW) and seawater collected with a swab (sSW). Taxa in A and B that could not be assigned at the level of phylum or genus are listed as the most specific known taxonomic level. Taxa that could not be assigned to a phylum are grouped under Bacteria. Sample name abbreviations are defined in Table 1. BD2-3 is in the order Victivallales, the Pir4 lineage is in the family Pirellulaceae, vadinHA49 is in the phylum Planctomycetota, JGI-0000069-P22 is in the class Gracilibacteria, and HOC36 is in the class Gammaproteobacteria
