Alpha diversity analyses results for the different experiments and the contribution in percentage of the different phyla considering replicates. We studied fish epithelium mucus effect on natural bacterial assemblages at Puyuhuapi fjord in Chilean Patagonia. Mucus was added to seawater coming from 2 and 100 m depth and the active composition (i-tag 16S rRNA) were followed for 24 h. The results showed a significant response from the microbial community but only at surface depth after 2 and 6 h of incubation.
