Pairwise tissue-specific differences in inferred metagenomic pathways for Atlantic salmon mucosal microbiota. Metagenomic functions were inferred using PICRUSt2. Pathway abundance was compared across tissues using a Kruskal Wallis test followed by a Tukey’s post-hoc with BH-FDR corrections. Significant differences in pathways abundance were considered at p < 0.01 and effect size > 0.5. Out of 404 inferred MetaCyc pathways, 60 showed significant differences across tissue, with only a subset of those shown here. A full list of all differentially abundant inferred metagenomic functions and pathways can be found in Additional file 2: Supplemental Table S4-S6. REDCITCYC—reductive TCA cycle; NADSYN—NAD synthesis; ASPASN-PWY—superpathway of L-aspartate and L- asparagine; FERMENTATION-PWY—mixed acid fermentation; PWY3781—aerobic respiration I; DENITRIFICATION-PWY—nitrate reduction I; MET-SAM-PWY—superpathway of S-adenosyl-L-methionine biosynthesis; GLUCOSE1METAB-PWY—glucose and glucose-1-phosphate degradation
