Table 1 Alpha-diversity indices of the epiphytic bacteria on both male and female S. thunbergii

From: Diversity of epiphytic bacterial communities on male and female Sargassum thunbergii

	All			Abundant			Rare

*P < 0.05 reflects significant difference, and **P < 0.01 reflects extremely significant difference
Abundant ASVs were persistent across all samples, and the values and P values of Chao1 indices cannot be calculated
