The composition and diversity of stool and seawater microbiota based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. a The relative abundance of bacterial composition of the stool and seawater samples at the phylum level. The yellow dots above the bars indicated the results of stool samples while the blue triangle above the bars indicated the results of water samples. The top 10 phyla are labeled in different colors. Most of the samples are dominated by proteobacteria (labeled in green color). The stool displays different composition compared with the seawater samples in each season. b The clustering analysis of all the samples based on the unweighted UniFrac method. The stool samples are labeled in yellow dot, while the seawater samples are labeled in blue triangle. c The significantly different abundance between stool and seawater samples at the phylum level. The abundance is shown in columns while the difference is shown in dot. d The box plot of the richness, Shannon diversity, and Simpson diversity of stool and seawater samples. The stool samples show significantly high levels of richness and Shannon diversity
