Fig. 3From: Disentangling the link between zebrafish diet, gut microbiome succession, and Mycobacterium chelonae infectionDevelopment is associated with altered microbiome composition. (A) Shannon Entropy of diversity shows that gut microbiome diversity significantly differs between Watts-diet fed fish to fish fed the Gemma- and ZIRC-diets in 214 days post fertilization (dpf) zebrafish. (B) Capscale ordination based on the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity of gut microbiome composition in 214 dpf zebrafish. (C) Shannon Entropy for diversity shows microbial gut diversity increases with development in 129- to 214 dpf zebrafish fed the Gemma- and ZIRC-diets, but not Watts-diet fed fish. Capscale ordination of gut microbiome composition based on the (D) Bray-Curtis dissimilarity by diet and (E) Canberra measure by time. (F) Body condition score negatively associates with gut microbiome diversity as measured by Simpson’s Index across 129- and 214 dpf zebrafish fed the ZIRC diet. The analysis shows that fish size and gut microbiome composition significantly differs between the diets across development, and there may be diet-dependent link with physiology. A “ns” indicates not significantly different, “*” indicates significant differences below the 0.05 levelBack to article page
