Hydrolytic activities of bacteria isolated from the macroalgae Asparagopsis taxiformis, Halopteris scoparia and Sphaerococcus coronopifolius on starch, pectine, alginate and agar. A Active (dark colors) and not-active (light colors) isolates considering the 3 macroalgal species and the different hydrolytic activities. B Number of active isolates for each macroalgal species. Percentages represent the fraction of active isolates in each algal sub-collection. Colors in the percentage boxes are related to the percentage values: higher percentages are reported in green, intermediate percentages in yellow and lower percentages are in red. Bars represent the numbers of active isolates
