Bacterial community profiles of the different caterpillars (Pieris brassicae) and parasitoid larvae (Cotesia glomerata) samples studied. Bacterial taxa represent the most prevalent taxa in the different subgroups based on origin and health status for caterpillars and origin for parasitoid larvae (present at a mean relative abundance > 0.5% in at least one subgroup). For each zOTU, the average relative abundance for each subgroup is given in the box as a percentage, whereas the color indicates prevalence (white is absent). zOTUs are identified by a BLAST search against type materials in GenBank. When no significant similarity was found with type materials, the BLAST analysis was performed against entire GenBank (indicated with and asterisk). Identifications were performed at genus level; when identical scores were obtained for different genera, identifications were performed at family level. When identity percentages were lower than 99%, the percentage of sequence identity with the GenBank entry is given between brackets. Hits with uncultured bacteria are indicated as unidentified bacterium. Abbreviations used: H = healthy; P = parasitized; E = external; and I = internal
