©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset includes the abundance of terminal restriction fragments from 16S rRNA genes amplified from coral-associated microbes. An array of closed system, precision-controlled experimental aquaria were used to investigate shifts in the bacterial communities associated with the Hawaiian reef building coral Porites compressa in coral fragments exposed to an abrupt 1◦C increase in seawater temperature above ambient summer levels following a 10 d acclimation at ambient temperature. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (T-RFLP) of bacterial small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes was conducted.
