Bacterial assemblages associated with the hermatypic corals Pocillopora damicornis and P. verrucosa, the surrounding seawater and the sediment at six coral reef sites in the north section of the Tropical Eastern Pacific were assessed using MiSeq Illumina sequencing of the V4 region of the 16S rDNA. The bacterial microbiota in both coral species, seawater and sediment were stable to seasonal variations. Bacterial assemblages between the same substrates were not significantly different from each other in the six sites sampled. Interestingly, the bacterial composition between substrates within the same site was significantly different, or not, depending on the conservation status of the site. Moreover, we found species-specific bacterial OTUs in both coral species. Analyzing the relationship between bacterial composition and environmental variables revealed a positive correlation between bacterial assemblages and dissolved oxygen, ammonium and silicate.
