Growth promoting ability of Sulfitobacter sp. BL28. a A phylogenetic tree based on ASVs having > 500 reads with relative abundance. Inner circles represent taxonomic analysis at genus level. Red colored heatmap represent relative abundance of ASVs in sea cucumber samples. FE: Fertilized egg; GL: Gastrula; EA: Early auricularia; LA: Late auricularia; PT: Pentactula; JN: Juvenile. Star represents the key feature at different developmental stage. Red: fertilized egg; yellow: stages before gut developed; green: late auricularia; purple: stages post gut development; orange: Sulfitobacter. b Growth performance of juvenile sea cucumber with diet supplementary BL28. Bayes t-test with independent samples was performed using the JASP version 0.17.0 and growth with BL28 > those of control was set as an alternative hypothesis (H1), respectively. Alternative hypothesis was more likely to be occurred by 655 folds, respectively (n = 15). The error bar indicates standard error
