Microbial function analysis of larvae among different developmental stages. a Distribution of microbial functions among larvae samples before and post gut developed. Bars represent the relative percentage of each microbial functions. b Dynamics of significantly changed microbial functions pre- and post-gut development. Scale represents relative abundance. Legend bar shows the sample developmental stage and gut development status. Stage shows the samples collected from different developmental stages. Dark yellow: fertilized egg, purple: gastrula, turquoise: early auricularia, dark green: late auricularia, pink: pentactula, and blue: juvenile, respectively. GutDev shows the gut development status of samples, light yellow represents samples before gut developed and light green represents samples post gut developed
