Effect of oyster genotype on hemolymph microbiota. NMDS plots represent beta diversity based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities for the bacterial (a), protistan (b) and viral (c) communities of oysters born and kept in the hatchery under controlled conditions. Bar plots are graphical representations of Permanova results showing the variation explained by oyster genetic background (genitors’ origin and selection pressure experienced by genitors) for the bacterial (d), protistan (e) and viral (f) communities. Both bars represent the same analysis (model: ~ Family), but with two different sets of orthogonal contrasts (see Additional file 6 Table S5). The terms which are not significant are shown as shaded rectangles (for completeness), but should not be interpreted. Table on which the bar plots are based can be found in Additional File 10: Table S9. Bacterial and protistan diversity estimates are based on OTUs, viral on contigs
