About this report

Generated on: Mon Aug 29 20:04:05 2022

These data provide detailed information on the community of microbes ( Bacteria and Archaea) living in your aquarium. For this analyis we extracted DNA from microbes sampled from water and biofilm communities. Universal primers were used to amplify a genetic marker from this combined sample, and thousands of individual DNA molecules from this mixture were sequenced. Each sequence was then compared with public DNA databases to identify its origin.

This report summarizes the different kinds of microbes in your sample, and their relative abundance, with a special focus on beneficial and harmful microbes for the saltwater aquarium industry and hobby.

Information about the sample

Sample ID	1001298
Sample Name	microbione tesst
Tank Name	Matts reef tank
Sample Date	7/25/2022 14:05

Diversity

This score is a measurement of the number of different types of Bacteria or Archaea in the sample. Read more about Microbial Diversity here.

Your sample was less diverse than at least half the tanks we tested. If you’re interested in increasing this score, please see these notes.

Balance

This score compares the microbiome in your tank with that of a typical reef tank. High scores indicate a typical community, while low scores indicate an atypical community. Read more about this score here.

The community in your tank is very similar to that of a mature reef tank.

Community Composition

This figure shows the reasons for your balance score. Compare your sample with the typical community to identify families that are unusually high or low in your sample. Read more about the major families of microbes in reef tanks here.

The size of each bar indicates the relative abundance of each microbial family, coded by color. For clarity, only the families accounting for at least 1% of either community are shown here.

Your sample showed differences in the relative abundance of one or more of the major microbial families, compared with the typical reef tank. Learn more about these families here or at the links below.

Higher than typical
Pelagibacteraceae

Lower than typical
Flavobacteriaceae
Alteromonadaceae

Nitrifying Community

These communities include ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria (AOB), ammonia-oxidizing Archaea (AOA), and nitrite-oxidizing Bacteria (NOB). Although present at detectable levels in most tanks, there turns out to be more variation in the levels of these groups than many aquarists expected.

Ammonia-Oxidizing Microbes

Group	Your Frequency	Typical Range
Total	0.01694	0.00055 - 0.05712

Cenarchaeaceae	0.01694	0.00055 - 0.05577
Note:
Typical range is between the 10th and 90th
percentiles. High levels (>50th percentile) are
color coded green, intermediate levels (between
10th and 50th percentiles) are coded yellow, and
low levels (< 10th percentile) are coded red.
