Effects of Natural and Artificial Seawater on Digestive Gland and Gill Microorganisms of the Manila Clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) during Temporary Rearing without Feeding

Figure 5

LEfSe branching diagrams of digestive gland (a) and gill (b). The categorization hierarchy from inner to outer circles indicates the relationship from phylum to genus. Node size corresponds to the average relative abundance of the taxonomic unit, colored nodes indicate that these taxonomic units reflect significant between-group differences and have higher abundance within the sample of the grouping represented by that color. (C: initial R. philippinarum samples; A: natural seawater group; B: artificial seawater group; H: digestive gland tissue; G: gill tissue; 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7: number of days of temporary rearing without feeding).
