| Summary: | Figure 1: Graphical abstract of methods used to construct external and internal microbiomes of nematodes and tardigrades. For internal microbiomes, microinvertebrates were washed, sequenced, and host sequences subtracted before being averaged for each of the 24 mat replicates and 3 host types. For external microbiomes, unwashed microinvertebrates were sequenced, host sequences subtracted, and averaged for each of the 24 mat replicates and host types. The internal ASV abundances were then subtracted from the corresponding ASVs of unwashed community of the same mat replicate and microinvertebrate type to create the final external microbiome.
