Relative mRNA quantification (Rq) of SLC9s, V0 V-ATPase subunit-a and HvCNs measured in total (total colony) and oral (oral fraction) fractions. Box and whisker plots show the first, second (median) and third quartiles (horizontal lines of the boxes) and the respective whiskers (vertical lines spanning the lowest and highest data points of all data, including outliers). The replicate numbers (n = 3) represent separate coral samples. The asterisks and points indicate significant differences (• 0.11 ≤ p-value≤0.10 and ** p-value< 0.05)
